I'm back!
Although I don’t have any new milestones to report, I have been keeping busy. Last weekend I was surrounded by women who were fussing all over me. We were at my Aunt Maribel’s baby shower and this was the first time some of mom & dad’s cousins and aunts saw me so lots of people wanted to hold me. What the life!
And now this week, Grandma Linda is in town so I’m getting lots of attention and eating it right up. Boy do I have everybody wrapped around my little finger. Now if only I could shake this cold. Once again mom left me at the gym’s day care for a couple hours and I came home with a cold. Guess I won’t be going back there soon.
I’m not sure if it’s my cold or if I’m actually getting better at sleeping, but last night, I went 9 hours – all the way until 6:15am! Now if you do the math, you will realize that I didn’t actually go to bed until 9 pm. A bit past my bedtime, especially while under the weather, but apparently I won’t go to bed unless both mommy and daddy put me to bed. Monday night, mom tried to put me to bed while dad was at volleyball and I was up 15 minutes later. Mom was a bit surprised by this since I fell asleep on the changing table and seemed pretty drowsy while feeding after that.
Last night grandma was babysitting again and sure enough, I was still wide awake when mommy and daddy came home. They took me through my bedtime routine of changing my diaper, giving me my vitamins, feeding me, swaddling me and letting me listen to classical music while I drift off. I went to sleep with no protest then. Should be interesting tonight as daddy will be home with me while mommy goes to volleyball. I’ll let you know in my next blog whether or not I cooperated.
At least when I’m not sick, I’m also taking more structured naps. Usually one in the morning about an hour or two after I wake up (as long as I don’t sleep in until 9 or 10am as I have done a few times). Then I sometimes, not always, take an afternoon nap. I think mom likes having a more predictable nap schedule. Even though the times vary, she’s getting better at telling when I’m tired and putting me down for a nap. The only problem is, I will only take naps in my car seat. I don’t like to sleep in my crib or the pack and play for naps. I know it may sound silly, but I have my opinion and am free to exert it. I think I get this trait from mommy.
Last, but not least, I am mesmorized by the sound and movement of Dancing with the Stars. I like Julianne best and mom is rooting for Warren Sapp. This is the only show mommy lets me watch. Well this and sports and REM music videos from VH1 Classic. I think she is trying to turn me into an REM fan as we also listen to them in the car. Daddy’s taste in TV is much better. He will watch the Simpsons with me and of course football. One day though, mommy and daddy were watching a behind the scenes episode of Mythbusters and laughing hysterically so I decided to laugh along with them even though I couldn’t see what they were watching. They sure enjoyed my little squeal of a laugh.
Well I am off to go enjoy some more grandma time. Grandparents sure do know how to spoil so I love spending time with all of my grandmas and grandpas and they seem to enjoy me too!

Cute blog! Eventually, Cameron will sleep in his crib. Mark and Kate were like that, too. I think they like that snug feeling the carseat provides. ;)
Ohhhh - love the onsie - I hear it was made by a top fashion desiger!
