Gemma has officially moved out of her crib. She's been climbing out for some time now, and it just took us a bit of time to make the official transition to her bed and take the crib down for good. Part of me has held back due to the idea of her being out of the crib. The fear of that next big girl step and acknowledging her growing up as well as not knowing just how things would go once given a bit more freedom. The other part of me holding back is the emotional roller coaster I have been on accepting that my crib is coming down, for the first time in 7 years (since it was up 6 months before Micah was born 🙊.) That's the crib that gave Micah a place to sleep, Reid a place to sleep and Gemma a place to sleep. It's housed all 3 of my babies and I can't believe that era has come to a close 😢.
In addition to the bye-bye-crib, we also did bye-bye-paci. The third thing that was holding me back. Was I really ready to take this next step and take that comfort (and therefore quietness and sleep) away from us? How would she transition out of that crib in addition to being done with the paci? Well we're a week in, and she's done phenomenal! I can't even get over how well she did getting rid of the paci. She did fall out of her bed 2 times for 3 nights in a row, but hasn't since, and I'm thinking we're past that part. And she's just done amazing. That first picture is the last of her with her paci. Amazing, Gemma Jams! Such a big girl 💜
