One Little Monkey

Well, as you can see, it was time to lower Miss. Monkey butt's crib mattress! This is how I found her Friday during her "nap" time (obviously there wasn't much napping going on!) She was so proud of herself. Every time she would fall over, she would do a little "grunt" and then pick herself right back up. She is one determined little fart! It's pretty cute when she stands up facing the wall and will proceed to have a whole conversation with the wall itself. Babies are too funny!

Speaking of cribs, Claire's new (non-drop down side) crib should be arriving any day! I am super excited to get Claire into a crib that I feel is safer, one that I don't have to worry about! We got it at BRU for a very good price! Another perk of the new crib is that the toddler bed guard rails are included! Woohoo, for saving a little extra dough! Here is what Claire's new convertible crib looks like:

New Crib

We have decided to get a new non-drop down side crib. We could just call and get the kit that doesn't allow your drop down side to be lowered but I am still nervous. They are removing drop down side cribs from a majority of stores and more importantly by February 2010, they will no longer be making those types of cribs. If they are made, they will not be certified safe. It really sucks we have to go spend more money on a new crib but it's something Eric and I feel is the right thing to do. There have been too many infant injuries and death from drop down side cribs and we don't want to be a part of those facts!

These are the two cribs we like from - www.jcpenney.com. They both have stable non-adjustable sides and both come with toddler bed guard rails!
