Welcome to My Crib

Rylee has slept all night, in her crib, in her room for the past two nights! I know I am probably jinxing myself but I hope this continues. We moved Hunter into his room when he was about 4 months old and I was afraid we waited to long to move Rylee since the last couple of weekends did not go well in her crib. She has slept through the night since 8 weeks but this transistion to her crib disrupted that. Since I work during the week, I couldn't bring myself to be disciplined enough to do this during the week. Hopefully we are on a winning streak now. All of Rylee's friends right now do not have her sleeping habits so I truly feel extremely blessed. I honestly don't know how other mamas do it, especially when working.

Speaking of Rylee's "crib", here are a few pictures of her room. Shamefully, I'm still not done with. I still have a few finishing touches to complete but it is done for the most part. Her room was made with lots of love. My grandad made over half of the furniture in her room, which I think is pretty cool.

This is my favorite piece. In 1989, when my mom was pregnant with my sister, Kaitlin, she tore a picture out of a magazine of a changing table exactly like this. She gave it to my grandad and be built it. The picture doesn't do justice but his craftmanship is amazing. Kaitlin will be needing this come August so we may have a knock down drag out over this :)


Kaitlin, my mom, and I handpainted the circles on her wall to match the inside of her crib bumper. Kaitlin and I picked out the fabric for her curtain and made it. I thought it added a different dimension and a pop of color. Kaitlin also made the mobile above her crib. It cast cool shadows on the walls for Rylee to follow.


My camera setting was off so sorry for the graniness. My grandad made this shelf for me when I was little. I painted it white and painted the end of the knobs to match the circles on her wall.

My grandad also made her accent table but I didn't get a shot of it. He is a very talented man!

Happy sleeping! :)
