Week of New Foods and an Insomniac
Keegan has eaten like a champ this week! He has tasted several new foods, which is a really big deal for us. I think his occupational therapy is helping. He tasted (and won't necessarily ever eat again): cherry tomatoes & green peppers (his first-ever veggies!), spaghetti noodles, bbq fritos, and fresh pineapple. I'm excited about the progress we've been seeing with him!
Meanwhile, Keegan's also become quite the little insomniac. We moved him from his crib to a bed around Memorial Day. It went well for a week so we thought it was an easy transition. Then... he figured out that he could get OUT of his bed on his own. Oops. Not only is bedtime difficult, he's just about done taking naps too (he used to nap 2-3 hours a day). He still NEEDS a nap, but I can't get him to stay in his bed. After about a 2-hour exhausting process, I usually give in and let him go without a nap (and pay the fussy consequences later). The worst part for us now is that he gets up through the night for a few hours each night, refusing to stay in his bed. We have tried all sorts of methods. Last night we were up dealing with him from 1:30am - 4:30am and this seems to be our new norm. I'm open to ideas if anyone has them!
We have no big plans for July 4th. Tonight we're going to my step-niece's birthday party. Saturday we're going to my mother-in-law's 60th birthday dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. I most look forward to Sunday when I get to go to Ohio for an antique show with my best friend, Jennifer, and her mom. Yahoo!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and my monthly pregnancy/doctor's appt went well yesterday. We get to find out the gender on Aug 7th!
Enjoy your holiday weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
