Pulling Up

You have been crawling now for one month, and you are increasing in speed! So much so, that your brother who still adores you, is getting a bit frustrated when you just crawl right over and grab whatever toy he's playing with. In addition to Mr. Smiley Pants, you're also Mr. Grabby, and anything in Mommy and Daddy's hands is fair game - especially paper, which you love to eat when you can get away with it. Last week you were super pleased when you were sitting with Mommy next to Ben's toddler bed and you held onto his railing with your feet firmly planted on the ground - standing up! You proceeded to pull yourself up to the same position from sitting. Yesterday you crawled over to your activity table and pulled yourself up - all by yourself! You were so proud, and so were we.

Your current schedule:

6:00 am - wake up
9:00 am - catch a nap in the stroller or baby carrier as we head to the playground or an outing
12:30 pm ish - 2nd nap at home - and sometimes you and your brother ocassionally sleep at the same time (but not often)
6:00 pm - bedtime
9:00 pm - eat & back to bed
11:00 pm - eat & back to bed
1:00 am - cry with daddy as we now refuse to feed you
2:30 am - fall asleep exhausted in daddy's arms
4:00 am - wake up to eat & play
6:00 am - repeat

It's really amazing that you are as happy and perky as you are for the rigorous nighttime schedule you are keeping us all on!
