New Trick

Well Addison learned a new trick this weekend. She now goes from all fours to sitting by sliding her leg under her and landing on her bottom. She is so proud of herself for doing this, you can just see it on her face! This new trick, however, has started causing problems at nap time! I will lay her in the crib and before I even leave the room, she’s sitting up! I told Mom on Sunday that she was just going to have to learn how to fall over so she could go to sleep. She cried and fought for about 20 minutes before she got quiet and finally fell asleep. I checked the monitor and just died laughing! I ran and got my camera so I could capture this:





That’s right, she literally just fell over and went to sleep…not quite what I had in mind! And yes, her Pacie is on her foot!

Many of my friends have advised me that it's now time to lower her crib to the 2nd level. Scott didn't think it was time yet, but we lowered last night anyway. After I put her to bed, I just sat in her rocker and cried. I can't believe she's old enough to be sitting up in her crib! I knew this day would come, but I thought it would be much later.

P.S. I did roll her over so she could rest comfortably for the rest of her 3 HOUR nap!

We lowered Luke's 1 peg when he started sitting. We just had to lower it the last 2 levels now that he can pull up. I advise lower it all the way now, it will save you later :)
