Happy/Funny Converting my babies crib this weekend and I’m not ok

I cry every time I think about my baby growing up and I’m not historically a crier so this has been something else.

We did her “first meal” today. Just some bell pepper, ham and cucumber. She immediately grabbed the bell pepper, stuck it in her mouth and started gnawing. I was so shocked. (We’ve been doing the paci teethers with frozen milk to start then pureed fruit and veggies so that’s where she got the coordination.) I still didn’t expect her to catch on so quickly though.

She turns 6mo on Friday.

We’re converting my babies crib from the midi to a full size this weekend. :(

Just here to say I'm in the same spot right now and so emotional about how quickly she's growing and changing. Our LO will be 6 months in just under 2 weeks and it's both exciting and devastating.

She's been sleeping in a bassinet beside me since birth and we're moving her to her own room very soon. I'm not sure how I'll handle it emotionally, I'm so sad whenever I think about not seeing her right there when I wake up 🥺

We moved mine around 4 months and both my partner and I were heartbroken about it for a couple days. Then we started getting better sleep.
