Progress is Being Made!

Our little guy may just be evening out. I'm still not holding my breath, but a week from now is Jesse's three month mark - right about the same time that Kaden started relaxing a little, too. We shall see. He goes down for the night without a hitch and sleeps through until about 6:30 a.m. He is beginning to soothe himself to sleep better for naps - still decent bouts of crying - but nothing in comparison to what he was doing. And he is having longer and longer moments of pleasantness periodically throughout the day, as well! :0) Good times! The naps are still wicked short, so that's the next thing I really want to start working on with him. Any suggestions?

Today was a really great day. Kev didn't start class today like he thought he did, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous, so we just packed up and went to a local State Park for the day. We all played in the river, Kev and Kaden caught a bass, Jesse slept in his swing some, and Kaden and I caught crayfish, minnows, and about twenty-five toads - no joke - it was crazy! Kaden missed his nap and fell asleep at 5:00 on our drive home, so we just popped him right into bed for the night! Jesse is now down, as well, so Kev and I are going to crash on the couch and watch a movie. I'm off!

oh, I'm so glad. Enjoy your adult time! And I well remember your toad/frog-catching prowess! I was very impressed when we took that walk at Mt. Hope :)
As for naps...how many does he take now and what time?

another thought...as much as the whole diet thing went against my mommy instincts, :) I wonder if that's part of his decreased fussiness? hmmm...
