In the Crib

Dear Mackenzie,

Last night, you officially stopped sleeping in the bassinet in my bedroom and started sleeping in the crib in your bedroom across the hall. This milestone was way overdue--the top of your head and the bottoms of your feet have been grazing the ends of the bassinet for awhile but I wanted to keep you in it--and hold onto your infancy--for just a little while longer. And now I feel guilty for doing that because your new crib mattress seems to be extremely comfortable--so comfortable that you slept on it for over 10 hours last night without waking up! I put you down right before midnight last night and when I woke up at 6am, you were still soundly sleeping. Same thing at 8am, then 9am and 10am! At 10:15am, I actually unwrapped you from your blanket to wake you up and feed you. In the bassinet, you'd been sleeping for six- or seven-hour stretches so I guess the crib mattress is much cozier!

Love,
Mom
