Jake's Move to a Big Bed :)

Hello there my friends. I have no idea why this is underlining but as I have now uploaded all of these pictures twice I am just going to go with it. :) Well a few weeks ago we decided to move Jake to a big boy bed. Not only this but we moved Jake to a new room. We decided to try and make him an awesome new cars room so that he might want to switch and then we could leave the nursery as it is for his baby brother. :) It worked out so well and Jake absolutely loves his new room as you will see now. :) Enjoy
First though here is an adorable picture of Jake...yes he is using the blanket as a pillow and the pillow as a blanket....what can I say. :) But as you can see he was badly in the need of a haircut so......

we asked our dear friend Linda (who watches Jake while I am at work) if she would mind giving him a hair cut again. Doesn't he look like an adorable big boy. :D

So at this point Jake taught us a lesson and that is.... when can you tell your child would like a pillow? When he starts using his stuffed animals as pillows. :) This pic was closest we could get of it happening. :)

So this is Jake's first night with a pillow. lol..you can tell he is still figuring it out. :) But you should have seen the look on his face when we gave it to him at bedtime...he was so excited!!!

The next night he got it. :D Isn't he so cute!!!

And he we are...the big boy room. Ryan and I kept the door closed as we were working on it so Jake did not see it until we were done. :)

Checking it out....

I think he likes it :D

Yeah he likes it. :D

This cracked me up...as you can see before I put some extra stuffed animals in his room that I knew he would not want to share with his little brother when he gets here. And I just put his three bears in his bed that he sleeps with...well this was not good enough. Jake soon put them all in his bed...which is where they have stayed. :) He still sleeps with all of them 3 weeks later. :)

I think he just realized that his new bed is like his toy car. :)

Yes!!! We had no idea how Jake would sleep in his big boy bed and he did great!!! This is Jake sleeping in his bed for the first time for a nap. And I only had to go up there 4 times and tell him to get back in bed. :) We were so happy. The crazy thing is that he stays in his bed until we go and get him. Not sure how long that will last...but we are enjoying it :)

And that is us. On the baby brother front, for those who did not see my announcement on Facebook we finally decided on a name for Squid (sorry Melissa I could not help myself hehe), he will be Austin Jonah Brown or AJ as a nickname. Everything is going really well with the pregnancy so far and we are getting really excited to meet him. I am 28 weeks along which means only 11 weeks left since it will be a scheduled c-section. Wow...that is not that long. So for now we are enjoying being a family of 3. We are taking Jake to an aquarium this weekend as he loves fish and we want to do some special things with him before his little brother arrives.

Well I should get going but have a good week everyone. :)
