The Toddler Bed x

The baby is growing out of the baby stage now. 

Not an hour goes past that we don't get a whinge if he's not standing up. He loves nothing more than to be on his feet, trying to walk. 

A couple of times he has managed 3 steps at a time, and then a bump on the bottom to the landing on the floor, and the look as if to say "why did that happen Mummy?".

He is getting amazingly clever, and climbing everything! He doesn't stay still anymore either. 

He managed to put his leg over the side of his cot, (when it was on the bottom setting), so we have now got him in a toddler bed. 

Alot earlier than we had hoped, I was atleast hoping until he was walking, and if not about 18 months at a push!! 9 months old, was a lot earlier than I had imagined, but I never thought he would be following his father's footsteps, as he was 10 months, and perfected climbing out the cot and managed to open stair gates! Fortunately, he hasn't managed to figure out the stair gate (Mitch & I are still trying to work it ourselves!)

Having him in the toddler bed has gone execptionally well anyway. 

We haven't had any moments of falling out the bed, any trying to climb out or anything. He sleeps so well in his bed, it is so cute going in to check on him, and he's head it the opposite side to the pillow, or he's all curled up in a ball hugging his teddies. 

He hasn't once tried to get out, and every morning we hear a "Daaaaddd" come from his bedroom, and he's sitting on his bed being as happy and excitable as possible waiting for one of us to come and pick him up. 

For now, it is one of the best desicions I ever done for him :) .
