First Graduation

The boys made their first big graduation over the weekend. They have moved out of their bassinets and into the Cribs in the nursery.

We figured Alex would make the transition OK, but we were worried about how Kevin would do. Since Kevin would only sleep in the swing I was afraid I was going to have to put the swing in crib or something. But both of them are doing really good. We put them in the crib and of course they cry for a minute or two, but then its right to sleep.

I think they like being able to sleep next to each other. Instead of putting them each in their own crib, for now, we are letting them sleep together in one crib. We just put the little block that prevent them from rolling around in the crib and let them lie next to each other. Its pretty amusing because somehow Kevin always gets himself moved up above the block and turned on an angle. So his head is always nearly touching Alex's head.

EDIT: here's the promised picture...



They had been stretching out feedings from 4 hours to closer to 5 hours most of the time last week. Now that we put them in the crib they are only sleeping 3-4 hours at a time. Its only been a few days so I'm thinking this is just a transition period that they are going through.

It must be more light in the nursery than it was in our room though. As soon as the sun comes up in the morning Alex wakes up and crys until we get him up. Yesterday morning he at at 4:30 and by 6 he had decided it was time to get up. So we are going to have to make sure we get to bed a little bit earlier cause it seams like we are going to become "morning people" whether we like it or not.
