Yesterday on a spur of the moment decision we decided to move Jackson to his room. He is still waking up at night and it seems to be because of us. I didn't let myself get worked up about it. We just did it.
James took the bed apart while Jackson and I played in this high chair.
It was also Jackson's 1 hour helmet break. That's why his hair isn't fixed.
Out of our room into his....
Jackson played on the floor while daddy worked and mommy took pictures.
And there it is... all put together. Tear!
The angelcare..This picture does not have the board under it.
Right after I took this picture one of Jackson's toys started going off, all by it's self. We know it was Maddie telling us she was going to watch over Jackson. It made us smile. She is such a GREAT big sister!
I'm happy to say Jackson did great in his room. He slept until 2 when he woke up and wanted his paci. I gave it to him and he fell right back asleep until 5:30.
I did a lot better then I thought. I woke up a lot checking on him, but there were no tears and he was happy as a clam when he woke up!
My baby is growing up! He is completely in his own room now. I never thought we would move him this early. I am glad our hearts are healing.

Huge step! I admire you and James and the great job you are doing. Jackson is blessed with two parents who want the best for him.
He is so cute. Love his walls & his bedding. :)
That's awesome! Our daughter was born the same day as Jackson and last night was her first night in her crib in her room! She did great as well! She had been in the pack and play in our room or in our bed(she had been sick for a few days). I was so excited she did better than I thought! I'm so glad Jackson did well for you!
Wow, Kellie, you're really leaping forward! Hope you can hear me cheering, honestly, I'm all impressed with you for doing so great, just nonchalantly moving him to his room, such a huge step!
I'm sending you a big hug - you're really one strong and loving super mommy!!! All the best!
*whoop whoop*
Way to go!! I can only imagine the strength that took. Cute pics too!! As always, ya'll are in my prayers.
Good for you, Mama!! And he is just ADORABLE... Looks so big sitting up in the high chair!!
Yay! Way to go! I'm so glad it went well...for everyone!
He is so handsome! Glad you all had a somewhat sleep filled night. :)
Huge step! Congrats! We have the angel care monitor as well and it's been such a big help with peace of mind while my son is asleep at night.
I'm glad for you that your hearts are healing. You are such a strong person.
I came across your blog & I'm so sorry for your loss. Your daughter is beautiful. It brought back many memories. I lost my only grandson, Ollie, in March. He drowned in a washing machine. Death is so harsh sometimes. When we share each others grief, it makes it seem lighter. My daughters story is here: hebbsters.blogspot.com
I have just started a blog for the grandparents.
We are mourning the loss of our grandchild & trying to help our children get through each day.

What an incredibly beautiful baby boy!! I am so happy that your hearts are healing ((hugs))
is there anyway you could post your pictures larger on your blogs? they are so so so tiny!!! haha you can make them larger after you upload them. great post!
Me too Me TOO! I'm in the cheering section. Having never lost a child, I can't imagine the fear involved with raising another after the loss... I'm one of those mothers that was probably, all too often, thinking that you were overreacting about things (but understood your need to!)
I am SO HAPPY that these milestones are coming to you easily... monitors, own rooms... and he's growing... and he's smiling... and he's GORGEOUS!
This one is here to stay, Kel... Sending love!
He IS growing up. Those pictures look so grown--he is looking like a little boy instead of a baby. They grow up just way too fast.
Love,
Marie
So excited for you! That's a huge step :) He is so cute!
I still get nervous sometimes with my daughter being in her room and she is 16 months. Helps us all sleep better though.
Such a cutie that Jackson!!! And so proud of you miss Kellie!! I can only imagine of how that moment was and you have carried yourself in grace and faith. That little toy was definitely Miss M tellin her momma and daddy that little bro J is in good hands. :) xoxo
What a big boy! I am sure that was very hard for you, but like always, Maddie was there letting you know everything would be fine. She always knows when to make her presence known!
Honestly, that seems like the best way to do it-just do it and get it over with!
