Moving up! (and down)

Lots of new developments going on with Sean lately. I will start with the small ones first. We moved the height on his exersaucer up to the top position. If he gets much taller he will be too big for it. Although I think his interest in it will end before then. He will play in it now for bit of time (especially when he has not been it for a while) but will get tired of it pretty quickly. He received this for Christmas so it has gotten lots of good use! We also moved the jumper up to the top position. He reaction was as if it was an all new toy. He can really bounce again. 

On Father's Day we lowered the crib. We had talked about doing this for a while but Sean's ability to sit up on his own now made it a necessity! He never actually sat up on his own in the crib but sometimes we put him the crib with a few toys for short periods of time if we really need to get something done. The below pictures illustrate how important it was to move it down right away. 

I had been dreading this as I thought it would pretty difficult but it actually was pretty easy. Brett and I did it together with Sean in the exersaucer. Sean has not seemed affected by it at all (not that we really expected him to be) but it is a tad harder to put him down now! I guess the next thing we have to worry about is when he gets to big for crib altogether. I used to jump out of my crib at night (which is how my parents knew it was time to move to a bed). We are hoping Sean does not follow in my footsteps since our floor is hardwood! Here are a few pictures of Sean in the lowered crib.  

The big news is that Sean is moving up at school (to the crawler room)! They had mentioned it to us before that they would be moving him soon but were not sure exactly when. This past week he had a trial run, going over into the crawler room every day for a period of time. They told us that he did great each time and that he loved being in the room with all the space to move around and play. The infant room is great, with lots of things to keep the babies occupied (cribs, exersaucers, bouncers, swings, play mats, jumperoos, etc.). There is some room to crawl around in but not much. They told us that Sean moves all around the room and recently had been trying to crawl under the cribs. We were not surprised as he is always sticking his arms under the couches at home. He also loves to crawl into the lower part of the exersaucer at home (more on that in another post). He is moving on Monday. I teared up when I heard he was going to move. The people in the infant room have been so good to Sean. I am sure the next room will be just as great but I just can't believe how big our little man is getting!
