Time to Work

(From my journal to Jacob)

You drank out of a sippy cup today (a tiny bit of water). You are so much fun! You reach for me when you want me and hold your arms out.

We visited Grandma and Grandpa this weekend. Aunt Anne was there, too. We saw Aunt Jemima (Sarah) and also Gina, Hans, and Grace. We had a good time.

Dad and I are working on a sleep plan for you. I start work a week from today. I really don't want to. Your dad is looking into going back to school.

I napped with you today. So much fun to do!

A General Type of Update

(From my journal to Jacob)

Your dad and I are now reading the No Cry Sleep Solution. We need to get you sleeping better! I'm holding you as you (fitfully) sleep right now. You wake up every time I put you down. You make some "ma" sounds now. You are still so beautiful. You don't like strangers as much right now, so less of your "flirting." You'll smile, but they have to work for it. You LOVE your daddy and smile and move around when you see him. The two of you play and play. You love watching Boehmke and Pumpkin and don't understand why they always run away from you. You're doing better at eating your cereal. You can launch yourself in the direction you want to go -- sitting to on your tummy. You love stacking cups and rattles. There's a toy bunny that makes you laugh now. :) You're so fun! We love you!

Jacob Still Doesn't See the Need to Use His Crib

(From my journal to Jacob)

You can sit up most of the time, but when you want to be doing something else, you topple over pretty fast, so I can't leave you for a second when you're sitting. We are working on getting a routine. So far, you go to sleep around 9:30 or 10 and get up at 7:45. (You wake up every couple of hours to eat.) You nap around 9:30 or 10 a.m., and the rest of the naps have no pattern with duration or frequency. :) We want you to sleep through the night, and in your crib! Still sleeping with me. You are sweeter every day, though.

Time to Move!

(From my journal to Jacob)

Today, you scooted backwards a little! You also crawled a little with my help -- I lifted your chest, and you did the rest! :)
