Sawyer is Nineteen Months Old!

Sawyer's world has changed quite a bit recently. We moved him to his toddler bed on Sunday. Lorne assembled the bed last weekend and set it up in his crib's former location. I would go upstairs with him from time to time so that he could play on it and get used to it being in his room. I also moved the softer mattress into his crib a few weeks ago so that he could get used to sleeping on something other than concrete. The concrete mattress will remain in the crib for the baby girl.

We made sure to babyproof his room before setting him free. Lorne moved the changing table into the new nursery. He also screwed the bookcase to the wall. I organized his books so that only board books are on the bottom two shelves, and installed outlet plugs. The glider has a lock feature so I make sure to engage that before he goes to sleep. He sleeps with his door closed, but I still make sure to close the stair gate. I imagine it will become more challenging when he learns how to open his door, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

He has done really well with the transition so far. He wasn't too keen on naptime Monday, but I think that was because we met Kristy and Cate for lunch so his naptime was pushed back a bit. He also took a catnap in the car, and that usually affects the quality of his naps. He's still sleeping the same amount at night, too, so we're keeping our fingers crossed on that front. I just feel so bad about moving him because it wouldn't even be an issue if there wasn't another baby on the way. He has shown no desire to climb out of his crib and that's usually the main reason that kids are moved in the first place. Lorne's going to keep the crib in Sawyer's room until he finishes in the new nursery to save on space.

His newest words include RoRo for Rosie, go, car, and cracker. Him saying car is pretty amusing when we're driving down the freeway because he feels the need to identify all of the vehicles he sees. He says go and grabs our hands when he wants to haul us around the house which is pretty amusing, but can quickly wear us out! Any dog that he sees is a RoRo. He says cracker for anything from Goldfish to Animal Crackers. We're working on learning more body parts. He is currently pointing to his nose, ears, teeth, tongue, toes, fingers, eyes, belly button, tummy, and hair.


Sawyer seems even more attached to George since moving to the toddler bed.


I love to watch him inspect things.


Is this a cheesy grin or what?


One more with the bear.
