I think he's got it!

Well, my little guy slept from 9:30-6:30 on Sunday night. He woke up at 3 and 5, but only wanting his paci. I was getting tired of getting up, but knew he would slept longer once he was eating rice cereal more. He eats bananas in his rice cereal now. I think that is helping.

Last night, 9:30-6:30, but only waking up at 4am. I put the paci in and he slept until 6:30. Maybe tonight (Tuesday night) he will give up that wake up time.

Now, if only I could go to bed when he does.......ha!

Excited mommy! 6 months of not sleeping through the night!!! Most mommies get sad that they don't have that nighttime feeding anymore...um....nope! I am ready! I love sleep!

New phone, new food, new trick

I bought (well, it was free) a new phone! Christmas in September!
My son tried bananas tonight and loves them.
J decided he wanted to stand up holding on with one hand. His right foot had his heel planted like he was doing a "taa daa" move! All of this while admiring himself in the mirror. I love my boy!

You just don't know how important your phone is to you until it breaks...

All I can do is dial a number.....and....hang up. I have loved this phone to death. I have two hours left until Ben comes home. I have a car in case I need to go somewhere.
I feel like Funny Farm. Maybe I will just get a pay phone installed for times like these.

Dinosaur on October 31st.

At a consignment sale, I found a Gymboree dinosaur outfit for $4!!!! Score! It is the perfect size and practically brand new! I am sure a 6-9 month old doesn't wear their costume very long! And, we have a wonderful neighborhood where Halloween will be a blast this year! I can't wait! My cute little Dino.......

Sleep

Little man was having a hard time going to sleep last night. He went to bed at 10, but I am happy to announce he didn't wake up until 5:30!!!! Yahoo!!! Let's hope this trend continues!

Man parts

He discovered his man parts during his bath last night. Oh my!

Other news! I am walking and doing yoga now which have been wonderful. I feel so much better when I workout. I have great compatibility partners which help. By myself, I can't do it. :)

"Do you see me reaching, mommy? Come get me!!"

He started intentionally reaching for me when he wanted out of his exercise saucer/play jungle gym. I am unsure of what it is officially called, but the expression was amazing.
I.feel.wanted.and.loved. My boy is growing up!

Tonight, we walked with mommies with baby's that were born this summer. Jackson looked like a giant. That is what happens in 5 months. :) Will my little Ladd be really 6 months old September 25th?!? Wow.
