Night before last was Ethan's first night in his crib, first night as a "big boy," first night away from me. He handled it pretty well, woke up several times just wanting his pacifier back after he would repeatedly spit it out. I think it was a comfort thing because he was in a new place. The kid should be in the binky spitting Olympics, I swear! I always find it at least a foot away from him in any direction, how does he do that?! Anyway, since the crib is bigger than the bassinet (he outgrew the weight limit on it, or he'd still be in the room with us!) he discovered he loves to lay on his side and when on his side he likes to kick his legs which led to him spinning several circles in the crib throughout the night, yet another reason for the flying binky!
The transition was a so much harder on me than it was on him, at about 3:30AM (after getting up at least 15 times to re-plug him) I took a pillow and blanket and slept on the floor in the nursery. I know, I'm lame! Its just with the monitor he sounds different and I cant make out his 'whining in my sleep and will be done in a sec' and his 'if you dont give me my paci in the next 5 seconds there is going to be hell to pay' whine. Oh well, Im getting better! I slept in my own bed last night and he didnt get up till 5 after going to bed at 8! Woot! Go Ethan! Mom on the other hand still has some progress to make.
