Evie slept in her very large crib last night for the first time. She's been sleeping in a bassinet next to my bed since she was born, so the transition to her crib in her own room was quite a milestone. I chose to try it out last night for the first time because my room is stuffed with furniture and clothing at the moment. The night before last, the little bean was sneezing a few too many times and I thought it best not to totally overload her developing immune system with the not so adorable dust bunnies in the corners of mommy's room.
Anyway, she did great. She slept almost through the entire night and didn't sneeze once (she has an air purifier in her room). Mommy, on the other hand, had a little more difficulty. I finally gave up and dragged the mattress from the fold out couch into her room and slept on that. A trip to the store to get a baby monitor should spare me from another night on the floor.
The morning went well. Evie played in her new jumper which is now hanging from her room's door frame. She took an hour long nap, (long for her) from twelve to one in her crib again. Then we went to the second meeting of our weekly "Mommy and Me" group led by Tandy Parks in Santa Monica. There are eleven other mothers and babies in the group. The babies are all around the same age, with four baby girls born during the same week as Evie. I enjoyed the group a little more this week than last. Evie, however, seemed to enjoy the group less this week. We sat next to an adorable little girl named Olivia - called Liv - who Evie seemed to like at first but when Liv rolled onto Evie's blanket...well, it was all downhill from there. I was pretty surprised by Evie's reaction but I guess I wouldn't want someone I'd just met rolling onto my blanket uninvited!
The ride home from the group was pretty difficult. Evie really hates traffic (this is honestly not a projection - she can't stand being in the car unless it's moving FAST), so she'd exhausted herself from crying by the time we got home. She had her bottle and went straight to bed. She's still sleeping!

The crib is a milestone for the little bean, I'm glad you're trying. I've been trying to find more photos of you as a bean and have found some and accomplished cleaning up the MPR (remember Multi-Purpose Room TOW,where deadly nation ball tournments took place). How could Coach Clara have convinced us this was a good idea?
Where is Evie,areyou looking up atatall,tall redwood,are looking down at small small carpenter ants,are you smelling the deep deep woods. Where is Evie??
