One of these days soon I won't be able to use the "Little Baby Laila's Big Baby [X]" construction anymore and I'll be terribly sad. 
For the last six months, Laila has slept in our room next to our bed, but she's almost gotten too big for her bassinet. She'd sometimes thrash around at night, unable to really stretch out because she was too long for her bed. The office, where my computer and a couch and TV were, was going to be Laila's room but we didn't want to put her in there in her bassinet (since she could tip it over) and we wanted to keep her in the room with us until she was at least six months old. Well, the time has arrived, so we moved everything else out of the office and prepared to turn it into Laila's room.
We ordered a crib but it was two weeks late thanks to international shipping delays, but last weekend it finally came. We assembled it, put on the mattress cover that![[instagram.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/profile_icons/instagram.png)
sashagee's grandmother sent us, I attached a sticker I bought with a sign to protect Laila from לִילִית, and we put her in her crib to sleep the night away.
The first thing she did when she woke up on Sunday morning? Big giant baby stretch.
sashagee has moved most of Laila's clothing and supplies into her room--the only thing left in there from before is the couch we used to watch television on, which sashagee now uses to breastfeed on--and put some dried flowers in a vase that Kaminaka-san made for me the last time I was in Japan. It's her own space and I hope she feels at home in it. But I do worry about her being in there alone.
