Baby Name & Cruz update

I'm 24 weeks along today so 16 more to go before we get to meet our baby boy! We decided on a name and this time we're sharing it before he's born, his name will be Levin Lynn. I found Levin on a name website when I was looking for Cruz's name and it's always stuck with me. So this time when we were looking at names Levin was the only name that just stuck with both Jake and I and the only name we could agree on! Lynne is my middle name and Lynn is my Dad's middle name and also my Grandpa's first name (plus other people in my extended family have that as a middle name). And since we have Cruz Christian (Jake's middle name) we thought Levin Lynn would be perfect:) Slowly but surely we are getting ready to have another baby in the house. We need to exchange Cruz's crib that was recalled for a new one and then Levin will have all the furniture for his room, I just need to decide if I'm getting new bedding and then if we need to paint or not. I really can't believe how quick this pregnancy has gone and of course summers always fly by so September 1st will be here before we know it!

Cruz had tubes put in this last Friday, hopefully this will help all those ear infections he was getting! He's sleeping like a champ in his new big boy bed, I never thought the transition would be so smooth. Even at nap time he climbs right in and I don't hear from him or see him till he wakes up. The next big thing with him will be potty training, which I hope to get done this summer before Levin gets here. He loves everything about the potty, potty movies, potty books, watching everyone and anyone use the potty, even sitting on the potty with his clothes on. But he hates sitting on the potty with his clothes and diaper off! He'll cry if we try to get him to sit on it so I guess we need to get that tackled first before we start the training! Wish me luck!!!

Cruzer's Big Boy Bed

This week two things happened that made us move Cruz to a big boy bed. For one his crib was recalled this week so we are taking it back and getting a new one for the baby. And for two he figured out how to crawl out of his crib this morning so we decided it was definitely time to put him in a big boy bed. We bought bunk beds today and got the bottom bunk put together for now. If we have a 3rd kid the boys will probably share a room until one of them wants to go to the bedroom in the basement so we figured bunk beds probably were the best way to go. Anyways Cruz helped us pick them out and enjoyed testing all the beds every place we went. He helped daddy take apart his crib and was so excited to have his new bed in his room! He kept asking if he could go nigh night, it was too cute:) He's now been down for over an hour and we haven't heard a peep out of him. Hopefully he adjusts well to the new bed! I on the other hand had a little bit harder time seeing my baby in a bed like that. Wow he has grown too fast! I think my husband thought I was crazy for crying after we laid him down but I'm blaming it on the pregnancy hormones :) Anyways here are some pictures of him with his big boy bed!
