Closet Chaos

The babies closet has become a disaster! It was completely overrun with mismatched shoes, a variety of sizes (9-18 months), and a changing table that we no longer use. Some of the bins were piled up high because there were so many dresses or boy's shirts. Not only was it an eyesore, but it was barely functional.

Jesse took apart the changing table and put the pieces in the attic for now. I bought two clear over the door shoe holders for all the shoes. Now we can finally see the shoes and keep the pairs together. We went through each of the bins and packed away small clothes in storage. We still have more clothes than they could ever wear, so we only picked our favorite outfits and reorganized the bins to better reflect their wardrobe. Now we can breathe easy again for at least a few more months!

Maddie's Moving Out

After over 10 months, I've finally conceded to Maddie sleeping in her crib in the nursery. She's slept 12 uninterrupted hours in her crib for the past three nights. It still makes me a bit sad to know that my baby is a big girl. I've always been more protective over her and miss having her in our bedroom. Still, there's no reason why she shouldn't sleep in her room and she's clearly content there. 

After packing outgrown clothing into storage today, I stumbled upon Maddie's preemie sleeper that she wore her first night home. Comparing it to her 9 month pajama set that she wore tonight is shocking. Where did my tiny girl go?
