Not a baby anymore!

As I sit here and right this I am listening closely for a “mommy” to come from the monitor.  I just tucked my sweet baby boy in his big boy bed for the first time!!  I have to say it makes me so, so sad to know he’s no longer in his baby bed.  We wanted to make sure Bo had enough time to get settled in his new big boy room long before baby’s arrival.  Didn’t want him to feel completely replaced.  Not knowing how he would transition or how long it would take we decided after Christmas it was time to move him.  We found the perfect bed for him!!  The problem with all of our secondary rooms is they are very small.  So we were lucky enough to find a bed with storage underneath that wasn’t too big.  With a full size bed with headboard and footboard we don’t have much room for much else.  This bed is definitely larger than a regular full size bed due to the storage, but it’s great.  We got the matching nightstand and are waiting to get a ladder bookshelf.  As far as his clothes, we bought a closet organizer from the container which I absolutely love it’s perfect!! 

I’m doing his room in firetrucks. I found bedding at Pottery Barn that isn’t “themed” so as he gets older if he decides he doesn’t want firetrucks we can change it easily to something else.  We do have to get him a new mattress.  This one is old and from our guest room.  It’s also a little too high.  He can’t climb up on his own and it should sit level with the footboard and this one goes over, but for now it works.  I’m still up in the air with the wall color.  His room was already painted a dark brown, which works, but I’m trying to decide if I want to go a little lighter with a khaki.  Going to give it some time and see how I feel about it after living with it for a few weeks.  The pictures don’t really do it justice but here’s a sneak peak!

     Last time in his crib…I’ll be honest, I had completely forgotten to get a “one last picture”, so

as we were moving his furniture out I made Jarrod put the crib back in place and get a few shots.

JUMPING!!!!

Another reason it was time to move on…see his feet in the air!!

  

   All tucked in and ready for my first night!

Here are a few pictures of his closet system.  I’m still trying to figure out just how I want everything organized, but it’s been great so far!  Before it was the standard rod and shelf and that’s it!
