How You Know Your Baby Is Ready for a New Bed...

So I'm kind of embarassed to admit this, but Garrett is almost 9 months old and for many reasons has still been sleeping in our room in the little cradle he used as a newborn. Last Sunday I was telling my sister how we really need to get him a crib, but he's okay for now because I just wrap him up really tight in the "burrito wrap" and he doesn't move around that much while he sleeps (mostly because there's really nowhere to go.) Just a few nights after that, Garrett started making noises in the night and I was drifting in and out of sleep, but could tell he was awake and playing. He usually sleeps through the night, so I didn't get up to get him and figured he'd go back to sleep. I dozed back off, and a few minutes later Greg nudged me and told me to look at Garrett. He was sitting straight up and looking over the edge of his bed at us with a great big grin on his face. I about died! He was probably about 10 seconds from falling straight out on his head. Needless to say, he spent the rest of the night in bed with us and is currently sleeping in a "pack and play" I borrowed until we can find a crib we like at a good price.
