Separate Cribs!
I can’t believe it: this week our babies started sleeping in separate cribs. I remember their first night home from the hospital, when we put them in the co-sleeper in our room, and they were so tiny I figured they’d never grow out of it. Not only did we have to graduate them to a crib in their own room by two months, but this week Julian started scooching around so much at night that he was shoving Eloise aside and knocking her head into the crib rails. The choice was clear. Another milestone passed.
While it was slightly bittersweet (in the sunrise, sunset kind of way) to put them in their own cribs, I mostly just thought it was pretty cool to see them there. It really drove home to me how much they’ve grown (notice that I do not say how fast they’ve grown — that first night home from the hospital seems like an eon and a half ago). So much good stuff is ahead, and it finally seems as though we just might get to it someday.
By the way, Julian continues to scooch. And last night, suddenly the sound of the mobile music came over the monitor. He’d turned himself sideways and had managed to kick the button that starts the mobile, waking up Eloise but not himself.

Sounds like you’ve got a serious “scoocher” on your hands. . . So long as he’s not “ooching” then your ok.

Please forgive incorrect grammar (should be you’re, not “your”) and also inadequate explanation. . .
If Julian chooses to “scooch” that is clearly fine, however, “ooching” is strictly prohibited by the US Sailing Commission and I wouldn’t want him to think that it is in any way acceptable. . .
Seriously?! How is this happening? They continue to get cuter by the hour!
