Silas Gets A “New” Crib

When Silas was first born, all we had space for was a Pack ‘N’ Play. There was no room for a crib in our smallest-ever house.

But as Silas has grown, he has gotten a bit long for the Pack ‘n’ Play, and also the mattress is getting worn out. (Even though no one else seems to have this problem with their Pack ‘n’ Play mattresses. I don’t know what we did wrong…)

My grandma still had my crib at her house, and said that we could have it for Silas (no one knows why it was there and not at my parents house, not even my parents).  Before anyone reminds me of current safety standards, I am not that old. The bars on this crib are the appropriate distance apart and there is nothing Silas could strangle himself on.  Thank you for your concern.

Anyway, it took some time before we actually got a mattress for the crib, but a little while ago, Silas finally got to sleep in his new crib.

I had SUCH cute video of when we first put him in it — he loved bouncing around on the mattress, which is of course much softer than the padding-over-board “mattress” of the Pack ‘n’ Play — BUT  I got trigger-happy on my camera deleting pictures and accidentally deleted that video. :’-(

However I did sneak in during his nap and take pictures. There is nothing so sweet as a sleeping baby!

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of his little feet too.

(I love my mother, and am SO THANKFUL for everything she gives me for Silas, but do these crib sheets look girly to you? She says they do not, but I am not too sure…)

Shortly after Silas “upgraded” into a crib, I learned that two of his little friends, who are both smaller and several months younger than he is, have begun climbing out of their cribs. YIKES!
