Big Boy Bed

On April 22, we said goodbye to the crib...

...and said hello to the big boy bed. 

I wasn't quite sure how it would go.  All I knew is that he had taught himself how to climb into the crib and I'd seen him attempting to climb out.  I knew that if he did climb out, it would probably result in a hurt Tater. 

Saying goodbye to the crib was a tad sad, but so exciting at the same time.  I love him and love watching him grow up.  I try hard to not be sad about saying goodbye to things that he's outgrown, but instead be thankful that we have been blessed to be his parents and experience life with him. 

He was quite excited to be in his big boy bed.

It took a little while, but before long, he was sound asleep. 

 I was really nervous how he would handle naps in the big boy bed.  I didn't have to worry after all.

 I moved him out of the pack and play for nap time at B and J's house during the week.  He's sleeping on B's old crib mattress (she's in a big girl bed, too).  He loves his special little bed. 

Edits

I loved some of the pics that I got of Tater when we were playing in the cloud dough.  Couldn't help but take two of my favorites and edit them a little.  I especially love the second one.  :)

April Cell Phone Pics

Just some more cell phone pics from the month of April.

 We loved looking at the baby goats at the local farm. 

 Playing in the fountains with Uncle Chris. 

 Dave took Tater to the park one afternoon and he sent me this picture.  Tater made a friend at the park.  He likes the older ladies. 

 Fun at the local amusement park.

Enjoying a chocolate milkshake.   This boy is so spoiled. 

 He LOVES his bike.

 Train fun with Mommy.

 Dave took Tater to the local mall to play in their play area.  While playing, Tater decided that he was hungry and needed lunch. 

 Even dinosaurs need something to drink. 

Another mall playdate for Tater and Dave.  :)

 Making cookies together. 

 I spend a lot of time following this little guy around.

 Cloud dough always makes him smile.

Cloud Dough

I found the recipe for cloud dough through the powers of pinterest.  I've made it a few times and it's always a hit.  It's fun to play with, smells good, and while it creates a huge mess, it doesn't stain. 

While Dave was at work the other night, Tater and I made a batch and headed outside on in our backyard and had a blast playing in the cloud dough.  I played with him for a while and then decided to take some pictures.
