Happy New Year

Joseph went to bed on New Year's Eve a bit earlier than most, and started 2009 with a bang at 6:30 this morning (why he couldn't sleep until 7:45 like he did yesterday I do not understand). He has continued to show off his climbing expertise this week....but thankfully has not hopped out of his crib again since monday. We're debating on whether we should replace the front of the crib with the toddler rail that came with it (so that he can climb in and out on his own), or go straight to the twin bed (minus the frame, so that it's lower to the ground). We're not quite ready for the little man to be released from his cage, but it seems we have no choice. He is in control and loving every minute of it....
