my monkeyshine

i have decided that my son is half-monkey, although i have no idea where he could have gotten that from. it keeps me scratching my head and wondering and at the same time, very amused and sometimes a little peeved. the stuff he gets into...

my monkey-baby in his new jammies, trying desperately to 'help' on the computer. his pj onesie has a monkey on it and it says "just hangin around". how very appropriate. they feel SO comfy, and i really like them because they are the convert-a-foot style, AND they are two-piece! my steal from kmart... oh, and they're green, which is kind of a neutral color, so if this baby is a girl, she can wear them too.

this would be cole 'just hangin around'... i think his days sleeping in the pack-n-play are numbered... we just might have to buy a crib soon. which we'll have to do anyway...

kelvin had to run down to tuscon yesterday in the late afternoon, but before he did, he took a quick snooze. and since cole hadn't had his afternoon nap either, they sacked out together. this is how cole fell asleep- usually he's quite anal about how he's positioned when he's trying to doze off, but maybe he's learning to be more flexible. no pun intended. and speaking of cole and sleep, last night he stayed in his own bed all night! he was up and crying for about 15 minutes, then muttered to himself for about a half hour and then he was out until just after 6 am. that's more normal, buddy! i had to get up to make a bathroom run, so of course, that's what prompted the intense crying, but he survived. i laid on the floor until i was positive that he was asleep, because the bed is so noisy. it's an air mattress, so the sides creak when they move (it's up against the wall) and the loudest thing about it is the memory foam top- it really creaks! i didn't have a choice with this one- it's the replacement they sent me for the first one, which i really liked because it had a headboard and was a little bit wider. i may look for another brand of queen air mattress to use for it, since the outter frame and headboard are still in good condition. it was quieter, i really liked that. but this one is comfy too, and a little taller (by a whole 6 inches), which will be really great if we're still here by the time i am ginormously round!
