We finally move to our new house, its has been exciting, frustrating, and exhausting. We are now in the country and its has been a big change but a good one. Hailey isslowly starting to adjust to her new surroundings. The first couple weeks she was having trouble sleeping due to the new enviroment. She would cry for hours….. finally fadding out to sleep ,only to wake up just as brad and i were headed for bed! Gotta love her! Luckly now she is back to taking her long 2 hour nap which is why i actually have the time to write today! She is now 20 months and has completly given up her crib, she so nicely handed it over to her little sister! I am a little worried about her sleeping in the big girl bed, a few mornings when i woke up i heard her crying and found her stuck between the bed and wall! This morning i found her trapped under the bed! How do i keep my baby in the bed?! Usually when she wakes up she will wait for me in her bed or she will get down and i can hear her talking to her babies. We did push the bed up against the wall .Is any one else experiencing this? If so Help! I want her to be safe during the night.

Well, my story is one of big change in a little amount of time. This time last year I was single, not only single but set in my bachelor ways. I had all my time to myself, I did what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. Most of my days between work were spent playing video games, riding my motorcycle around town or out having a good time with the guys. Not to mention sleeping in on a regular basis! Life was easy, other than my job and bills I really had no responsibility and I loved it. I had no one to answer to.
Cut to what seems like a few short months ago and you meet my wife, of course she was just my girlfriend at the time. But she was already starting to introduce me to things I didn’t think were ever going to be in my life. It wasn’t long at all before I met Baby Hailey. At first, I had limited time to get to know her, I wasn’t around all the time and only played with her a few minutes at a time while waiting for Jamie to go out to dinner. That’s all she needed, that little baby wiggled her way into my heart effortlessly. By this time I was already well in love with her mother, but then I started realizing I loved the baby too when I missed her smile while I was away. She has the cutest laugh! Not to mention she loves to imitate the things I do.
Now comes the part where I really started becoming a father! These were the things I didn’t plan on. Changing diapers, giving baths, trying to entertain her when she’s cranky, the baby I mean. Love you honey! When I was a bachelor, thinking of changing diapers and crying kids is something that makes you glad you are single. But now that I do it, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Not any of it.
It may smell but it gives you a warm feeling knowing that you made the baby feel better after giving her a fresh diaper and cleaning her up. It’s a blast playing with her in the bathtub, we have this little game called ‘you throw it out of the tub and watch daddy fetch’, that’s her favorite. My favorite part of ’tubby time’ is the bubble blower she got for Easter, I shower her with bubbles and watch as she tries to catch them in mid-air! And one of my favorite things, the thing I love most is when she is cranky and ready for a nap. That’s when I get to make her a bottle and hold her in my arms until she falls asleep. Many times I’ll hold her after she falls asleep rather than taking her to her crib. She just seems so comfortable and at peace that I don’t want to move and disturb her. I just wanted to start humming, ‘Hush little baby, don’t say a word…’.
