New Year, New Changes

ummmm... hello 2013?!?

i cant believe its already january again!

i made the comment to jared the other day saying something like,

"man, its january.... the blah month."

to which he replied

"hey, its not a blah month, its my birthday month"

oh ya... sorry about that one babe!

we've decided with this new year, we would make a big change in the rucks home.

we never got parker a real crib... he's been sleeping in a pack and play

pretty much his whole life, and was quickly outgrowing it.

so we thought now would be as good a time as ever to make the transition.

we wanted to wait to buy him a bed when we got to boise so we could see how much room

we would have in our new apartment.... so for now, we have 2 thick foam pads from costco that we stacked

on top of each other. they work perfectly for him. and arent very far from the ground if he falls out.

he has slept on it two nights now, and has done AWESEOME both nights.

(thanks to his aunt heather and uncle dave for the new sheets!) 

unfortunately when it comes to "rest" time, he has learned that he can get off his bed and open his door to come find me..... i think "rest" time has officially ended. 

im bummed i wont get "me" time during the day anymore, but now we get to put him to bed EARLY!

nothing is more sweet than your sleeping child.

how is he already old enough to sleep on a "big boy" bed? 

we cant wait to see what other changes take place this year.

its sure to be an exciting one, with jared graduating with his master's degree in may,

and moving down to boise to start out real big kid job!

this is a random video, but i wanted to put it up for aunt stacey and grandma allred to see.
