Transition from Bassinet to Crib

Dax is three months old on Monday! This is bazaar! I was not aware that he would be this big or this advanced at three months old. He got chunky all of a sudden, seriously over night. He can hold his head up really well now. He is now talking big time and is hilarious to just sit and watch. Adam is trying to teach him to sit up and stand up way too early in my opinion. Or I just don't want my baby to grow up. Either one.

Daxton is still in our room in a bassinet. I know, I know, everyone (meaning my mom and Adam) has been telling me that we need to put him in his own room now. They say it's time. They say he's too big to keep in
our room. They say I will sleep better. But really, having my baby close by is so convenient! When he wakes up to eat at 12:30am (which is a new development since our family was in town for his blessing), I would so rather roll out of bed, pick him up out of his bed, and roll back into bed. Putting him in his own bed leads to this:
hear him on the monitor
rolling out of bed
stumbling down the hall to his bedroom
getting him out of bed
changing his diaper
bringing him back to my bed so I can watch a show while I feed him
cuddling with him while he (and I) fall back to sleep
eventually (if I feel like it) take him back to his own bed

Phew! That is tiring just typing that! I realize I have to let him grow up eventually, but he is always going to be my baby and I want to keep him small for as long as I can! We will put him in his crib within the next week though. I have to brace myself before we do it.

Some questions to consider whether or not you should transition your little one:

How big is your sweet little one?  About 13 pounds
 - Most bassinets can hold about 15 pounds
Can your little guy roll over?  Nope, not yet.
 - Bassinets are much shallower than a crib therefor if they can roll over it is more dangerous for them to sleep in a bassinett
How old is your little one? 3 months
 - Pediatricians recommend transitioning them to the crib around 3 or 4 months and no later than 6 months.
Is your baby snoozing for longer periods of time at night? Now he is. We got him back on track to where he is sleeping longer again.
 - If they are starting to sleep 5 or 6 hours then you may not need them by your bed anymore.
Does your little one look cramped or uncomfortable? Ok, ok, he is looking a little big for the bassinet.
 - If his feet or head keep hitting the sides or he wakes up suddenly or often, it's probably time to move him.
Are you ready to get your bedroom back? I'm not sure. I don't know if I want him to leave or not.
 - This is a personal preference but you are probably more aware of all of their noises and they of yours. They may be interrupting your sleep too. Then it is a good time to move them.
