The digression

Hanging out with Grandpa Morris

We visited Great Grandma Morris yesterday. It made for a long day, but she was so happy to see him. Dad met us at the house and we all went down to visit.Caleb was an angel in the car for a change, but I sure am tired of hearing row, row, row your boat.

Mine. All Mine.

Caleb has become so much more aware of what is going on. I finally dug into the toy bin and pulled out the goodies. He will grab things, including his toes and pull them into his mouth (well the toes don't quit reach yet). He loves to give his monkey rattle kisses


Sleep seems to have digressed the past couple of days. Naps seems shorter, and night time sleep a little more interrupted. I don't know if it's just a phase or if it's the hectic schedule we have had lately. I've been trying to run with the neighbor in the evenings and that seems to be a nightmare. I have to go either before or after putting Caleb to sleep of which neither seem to be a good option. I think I will nix it and just run alone with Caleb in the morning. It's better all the way around.

Last night it was hard to get Caleb to go to sleep with him then waking 5 hours later (he usually goes 6). At his second waking he stayed awake for 2 hours. I tried to just leave him to go back to sleep on his own, but it didn't work. Tonight I got him down early and quickly, but 15 minutes after I left to run he was right back up. Everywhere I read talks about teaching them how to go to sleep on their own, putting them down drowsy, not letting them fall completely asleep on you, but I don't know. Every time I try he stays awake for hours at a time. gets more excited, and is harder to get back to sleep. Hopefully this is just a small regression and things will get back on track soon.
