Goodbye bassinet, hello pack n play!

He slept in this tiny bassinet for a full 4 months until we finally decided he needed more room. 
He slept in this bassinet right beside the couch, where I slept, for the first couple of weeks we were home from the hospital. 


Then we moved it right next to my side of the bed in our room.


Now, at 5 months old, he has grown into the pack n play!  He had been sleeping through the night so I was close to putting him in his crib in his room at night.  For the last few weeks though he has been waking up TWICE during the night just like a newborn, so he is still in my room.  Most of the time after I pull him into bed with me for his second feeding I just leave him there beside me for the rest of the night. I am cherishing these precious moments with him during the wee hours of morning because I know this time in his life won't last forever.  Still, I have to admit, I am one sleepy mama these days!  He has an excellent nap time schedule during the day so usually I join him for one or two of them. :)  That, to this day, was some of the best advice I received.  NAP WHEN HE NAPS!
