the crib is up!

So my sister's boyfriend came over today and helped me set up my beautiful lovely delish crib. I need to take pics tomorrow and post them. Also, I have a new stroller- why you ask? Haven't you been using 1 since day 1?? Well, I had been using my beautiful wonderful Eddie Bauer Travel System but it had started just breaking apart. Different pieces would come off on different days. The last straw that broke the stroller's back was when a rather large piece that held the "roof" of the crib fell off, I knew it was over. I wanted a stroller that certainly was going to last me longer than 2 1/2 mths!!!!

I wanted one that would last until Eli was walking and my next child was walking! We are talking a min. of 6 yrs- so this wouldn't cut it. So I went back to Babies R' Us and they were kind and generous enough to let me exchange it for a wonderful Graco crib (it was the Catalina model). I like this one thus far and have purchased the warranty should something happen.

In terms of development Eli is of course growing leaps and bounds and his eye contact and head movement has improved greatly over the last couple of days. He can now move his head completely from the right to the left and is starting to recognize toys- which is cool! He also found out he can scream too ;) His vocal capabilities are getting better by the day!

I don't know how I am going to transition him to his crib. But I feel it should be slowly. I don't think that suddenly I will be able to put him down there and magic will happen. I think it will be a work in progress type of thing! I don't know how I feel abt my baby going into this own room. It works so well with him being right next to me- but the pediatrician said that the 3rd mth is a good month for him to transition to his own room. Well he isn't 3 mths for another week and 2 days.. So I think during the week I am going to attempt to put him in his crib for naps... Then one night I will just let him sleep in there!

Eeekk :)

Hope everyone is well :)
