No, No, Baby Jed!



A few weeks ago I put Jed down for a nap and got in the shower. He suprised me by sneaking up on me while I was getting dressed in my room. I had heard something but thought Austyn must be up already. (I am sure every mother knows this feeling) When I turned around and saw Jed standing there with a big smile there was a silent yet loud scream in my head NOOOOOOOOOO!

He is such a good sleeper in his crib at 7:00pm wakes up about 7:30am. I was not ready for that to change. Of course I was hoping that maybe it was by accident that he hopped out of his crib and opened his door. Not so. After three days of no naps and several appearances by our bedside in the night, it was time for action. I wanted to see how he was getting out. Was it graceful, or painful what exactly was he doing? In the vidoe I am hiding in the closet and Josh is putting him down for a nap. At first he is mad until he remembers that he can get out, and then his smug little face as he walks out. My camera died after this one taping of him getting out but we moved that chair and it didn't slow him down a bit.

The good news is we put him in a toddler bed and put the little knob things on the door so he couldn't get out. He cried for 3 nights by the door for 10 minutes and then would give up. He would crawl in bed, put his covers on, and go to sleep. He is such a good boy and learns fast, now he hops in bed and goes to sleep. I guess he is not much of a baby anymore.
