Wow, it's been a big night at the Peacock Coop. I don't know why, but for some reason I absolutely HAD TO set up Avery's big girl bed. Maybe I figured it would be like ripping off a Band Aid - do it quickly and don't make a big deal of it, and it won't be a big deal to her. She loves it and took to it great, particularly enjoying jumping in it and climbing in and out, in and out, in and out.... and repeat. She hadn't taken a nap in three days straight, and I thought perhaps the nap era was over, but now that it's a big girl bed, she puts herself to bed.... and my heart breaks a little, missing that sweet weight of our little girl in my lap as I read her bedtime stories. Surely my snuggling days with her aren't yet completely over.
Meanwhile, Riggs has been having a sleep regression, waking up every two to four hours. Last night was an every other hour night, and when he woke at 3:30, I told Mike, "Either this is a huge brain blast or teething." Sure enough, this morning his first tooth has popped out, bottom front left, AND he's pulling up on the coffee table. Two birds with one stone! Maybe with the help of a little Motrin, we'll all sleep better tonight.
First tooth and first night in a toddler bed. I sure know how to pack in the milestones.
These babies are SO much fun right now. It's exhausting, hard, heartrending work, but incredible. Avery is really talking and telling us the most interesting things. Her vocabulary is huge, and she doesn't bat an eye at four-syllable..... and -letter..... words. Riggs is crawling all over the place, particularly to electrical cords and Dante's food dish.
