babyproofing
Why does it seem like no matter what you do to babyproof your house, there is always something you missed. I'm starting to realize that short or taking every decoration out of my house, there will always be something for Cheyenne to bump into, where there's a will there's a way!
I don't know if it's because my house is so small, or her toys are so big, but my house slowly went from a representation of Jason and I's style, to the beginnings of a daycare. Gone are our end tables, replaced with a jumper and exersaucer. Gone is our entertainment center, now covered in brown bumpers (Cheyenne's new hang out now that she realized she can pull herself up!) Magazine holder and craft supplies gone, replaced with more toys...
When we picked this house, we said to everyone, "Yeah its a little on the small side, but it's a good starter house for us. And besides, we're not going to stay here long, but its big enough that if we have a baby we'll still be ok." YEAH RIGHT!
Little did we know, not having any closet space would come right back to bite us in the ass. And our tiny little living room that once seemed "Cozy" now piled with baby toys looks more like the Sesame Street cast threw up in our living room. And no matter how many times we clean, it goes right back to mess within a day. And Cheyenne isn't even able to walk yet!! Man oh man, am I in for it when she can walk!

Guess who's crawling?!?
Why didn't someone call me Sunday and say "Listen, tomorrow Cheyenne is going to start crawling, so pay attention, and take in the last part of this stage in her life, because tomorrow, it's all over"
I would have loved to know what was about to happen! There were no warning signs. Sure, she was bouncing on her hands and knees, and I know that's how it starts I just didn't think it would ever really happen... I thought I had a few more weeks ahead of me! Now, Cheyenne starts another stage of "babyhood" and while its really depressing that my tiny little baby is growing up, it's really exciting to see her get so excited about moving. I'm so proud of her!
I just got done babyproofing our entertainment center because she was hitting her head while rolling over to the tv... now I've got a whole new kind of babyproofing to do...
why does it go so fast??!?!?!

Up all night
Ughh... First night in the crib didn't go so well... Cheyenne was up every hour and a half to two hours, whether it was because she lost her binky, or got her leg stuck in the crib. I took her bumpers out because they aren't the breathable kind, so now I have to pick them up on my way home so that maybe she an I can get some sleep tonight!

...
... this is going to be rough... not for her, but for me!! I just laid her in her crib.. shes laying there watching her mobile spin around, and I'm standing at the doorway crying because she's getting much too big... Holy separation anxiety.... =(
bittersweet
Today is a day I've been wanting for a few weeks now, Cheyenne is going to be sleeping in her crib from now on.. I know I know... she should have been in there a long time ago, but there have been obstacles that kept pushing this back. But anyway, she's going in her room starting tonight, and even though I've been bugging Jason to get the window treatments done so I can get her in there and finally get my room back, now that the day is actually here... I'm a little sad. My little baby is going to be all alone in that room.. she wont be able to roll over and see me lying there next to her... I wonder if she'll even notice?
Up to this point she's been sleeping in her pack n' play next to my bed, and I was just about 6 inches away from her. Part of me really wants to go find another excuse that she shouldn't be allowed to sleep alone tonight.. but I know that we both need this to happen. She needs space away from mommy, and I need to be able to lay in bed at night and watch TV without worrying about it being too loud and waking her up. But I can't just lean over and check on her anymore... I want my little baybay back!! I'm having a little anxiety attack about it... can you tell?
But on the upside, now I can get my elliptical back, which is in my bedroom, and hopefully that will help speed this weight loss along. I've decided its no longer ok to weight almost the same amount as I did when I was 9 months pregnant, so I started weight watchers again. It worked wonders for me last time, and now I'm back at it again and so far doing great! I've lost 6 pounds in a week! I really can't weight to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, and hopefully my pre-Jason body!! haha
I got an app for my phone now to update this so there should be some more regular posting going on, be sure to check back. I'll update on how tonight goes... that is... if I don't cave and bring Cheyenne back into my room with me =)
