way, we hung the johnny in our closet doorway and stuck him in it. for all the jumping he's been doing, the urge petered out when he sat in the johnny- but he was more than happy to twirl round and round. we tried to show him how to jump, but he just giggled and went back to spinning in circles. hey- as long as it keeps him occcupied...:)
today has been pretty uneventful- the weather is great, sunny and almost 80! days like this, we don't miss the snow much. everyone down here tells us to 'wait until summer' to see just how well we like it. i'm sure on the super hot days, we'll be thinking of snow...
cole thought it would be fun to snack on his toes this morning...you know, cause toe-jams are much tastier than pears and bananas. it was pretty cute- i had put his high-chair tray in the dishwasher for a good cleaning, not thinking that i might need it for snack-time. cole viewed it as an opportunity to ham it up for the camera, and proceeded to stick his toes in his mouth between bites of his pear/banana puree (which, incidentally, tastes really good if it's home-made!). it was cute and had me laughing pretty good! as cute as it is, it's not all that convenient to try to navigate a spoonful of pureed ANYTHING through a maze of chubby
little fingers, toes, feet, legs and other various appendages that composed the baby-shaped pretzel named cole. what a clean-up...i can still smell the faint aromaof bananas.and for those who are curious, despite being on formula for the last 3 or 4 weeks (the last 2 exclusively), we are again attempting nursing. according the the la leche league website, it's possible to relactate and if it's approached with patience from both the mother and the baby, it can be very successful. amazingly, i tried to nurse again last night and cole was so relaxed. i was amazed at how well he did...of course, we had to finish with formula, which he's become very used to (he took to it very well, and seemed to have no problem switching back and forth from the beginning). maybe this will solve the sleeping issue...it wasn't until mom asked if he started any new foods that he might have a sensitivity to that i realized that it was about the time cole made the complete switch to formula that he started getting up several times a night. of course, the move out here didn't help matters any, but after nursing just that little bit last night, he slept until after 5.30...now, after a little nursing again this morning, no problem going down for a nap. mystery solved? i sure hope so...
