Just a little update

So it's been a while since my last update. Things have been fairly mundane. We were back to fighting sleep, but when he finally succumbed he sleeps for a long time, generally only waking once at night. Last night was the first time in a week that we were able to go through the routine, nurse to sleep and shift into the crib in a reasonable amount of time, and no waking. The only thing that I can think of that has changed is his afternoon naps. He had started cutting them out, and I think he was overtired by the time bedtime rolled around. Lets see if this works.

The food palette is expanding. This week we introduced pears, peas and green beans. I am trying to encourage Robert to feed him more often. They make a comical duo.

Dear Caleb

Dear Caleb,
It's hard to believe it's been 5 whole months.

Your now eating cereal, sweet potatoes, bananas, apples and squash. So far I think the sweet potatoes are your favorite, with bananas a close second. You definitely seem to like the thicker consistency.

You generally sleep on your stomach now for 6-8 hours, and tend to cuddle with Eeyore much of the time. As a matter of fact anytime I lay you down on your back you quickly flip onto your stomach, including in the bath tub and your starting to pull yourself around. You got a nice snort of bath water the other night. It won't be long til your crawling.

You have found your voice! Your Dad and I both have pounding headaches from your "screams" of laughter. You just lay there and smile while you do it. It makes me laugh to watch you.
