10 MONTHS

I am blogging because I rarely do, but to me, our lives are dull, so continue at your own desire. 

We had a nice trip up to DC/NJ/PA and got to see Rick and Roseann and a couple of my friends. I wanted to do more in DC but was a bit unorganized and sort of unable to get it together with transportation and naps and all that.  I will have to go back to see my NCS and GW girls and my yoga teacher. I really really miss coaching right now - that it's racing season and so nice out.  I don't even think UNC has any home races to get my fix.

Bobby is doing great though.  Sleep is still our big 'issue'  but it's a lot less of an Issue, just something I'm always working on.  Last night marked the fifth time, in his entire life, that he slept through the night.  That being 7pm to about 5:45am.  I am really trying to get him to stay asleep until 6am.  This might mean a little crying until then, so the question is, if he's smart enough to get up earlier and earlier if I go to him at 5:55/5:37/5:42am, does the reverse hold?  If I dont' get him, will he just chill out in there?  Probably not the time to work on it with house guests!  Also he went down for his 2 naps today without any fuss.  However, this second nap seems to be over right now. And I didn't even get to eat lunch yet! 

He is a bit of a picky eater but gets enough good stuff in.  He is quite cheeky but of course adorable.  He will imitate you (eventually) so we are working on our sign language, but he just ends up clapping.  He tries to make his fingers snap if you do it in front of him.  He often will plant his feet, straighten his legs and stick his butt up in the air as if he's about to stand up.  He cruises down the coffee table, but won't walk if you hold his hands; he just leans foward.

Swim "lessons" start tomorrow!
