Now that Andrew has acquired so many new skills- like sitting and now standing, imitating body movements and speech sounds, he is WIRED!!!!
As Nana put it, "He doesn't miss anything!"
In the past, we were watchful of his sleep-moments and capitalized. Now, it's harder to recognize them- he may seem sleepy, I try to tone things down a bit, make it nap-friendly, then he 'springs to life'!! Nursing and bedtime books, in the past, help to 'bring him back' a bit but now that doesn't work I have been "referring" to long walks in the stroller.
Today I expected that to work and had him reclined, all ready for nap once his nap-indicating "squeaky door" noise ensued. Even with his new darkened stroller sun-shade attachment, he stayed awake! Maybe he was just-so-relaxed, not moving around, that it was rest enough.
Babies will always keep you wondering.
I love this picture- it shows him totally pooped out tonight.
I wasn't even worried about waking him with the flash.
I have a hunch he's changing things up a bit. No more predictable naps.Today we woke up at 5:45 and didn't nap until 12:15-1:10! And no other naps! He did crash pretty hard, right by his usual bed time at 7.... Photo above.
Dinner time was funny. He fussed at anything being *fed* to him- it had to be put on his tray for him to pick up. Dad fed him too and said Andrew was feeding him, trying to put food in his mouth!
The cups are still a great motivator- and he likes seeing them atop the trunk.His old friend, the mouse from the play pen reappeared!
