at this rate, tomorrow will be senior prom

The other day, I went into Paige's room to get her from nap and I see this: "I climb", she says. I dash off to get my camera and I come back and she says, "Look me. I climb mommy."

Her crib converts into a full size bed so all we had to do was buy a mattress and box springs. The following were pics of her last night in her crib. And me having a "moment".

I've already had her bedding all bought and stashed in a closet for months now. It matches Macy's bedding exactly except Macy has the yellow/pink version. I was prepared, just not mentally prepared.

Paige is only 2 years and 3 months old. I thought I'd have a few months (at least) of her being my crib baby. But, she is spirited ~ a climber, a true monkey. And she has done really well in her big girl bed. Last night, I woke up to her standing beside my bed at 12:45. I gave her a "dink" and put her back to bed. She's big ~ not a baby anymore. The only thing baby left about her is the Pampers (and the thumb)...

Sleep tight, baby pumpkin.
