Can he move them independently?

Also, if he starts using his tongue to catch crickets that are several inches away, look out!

For those who missed it (Susan tweeted this photo yesterday), Karma fell asleep a couple of times during the process (from exhaustion I am sure - she was having a difficult time). She was able to get a picture of it (she is nose-down in one of the holes she dug):

<Shameless Parent Brag >

Moonie Jr. and the band finally made it to WDW last weekend. The highlight was the "Recording Session" they do with all the school bands.

In essence their guide brings them into the studio and the recording technician has them play a few songs and then selects a Disney short for them to record the score for live.

After they finished, the guide mentioned, "I've never heard that one before" to which the tech replied, "that's because in the 10 years I've been here it's only the third time I've had a band I thought could handle it."

I know it was a piece from Fantasia, but I'm not sure which one. We should get a copy of the DVD soon.

Well it took 2 full weeks, but I think my back is finally pain-free. yeesh.

wolfy999 · 03-22-2010, 04:25 PM

It's been 3 months and my neck/shoulder pain is still here....2 weeks would be a eye blink in comparison (but glad that is all you had to deal with). Sure wish the Doctors would do something productive.....so far pills, therapy, more pills. Next up a specialist.

At risk of jinxing it:

We've now had 3 evenings in a row where T has slept 4+ hours. Followed by another 2-3 hours. And while I'm sure CP would rather that 4 hour stretch come in the middle of the night allowing her much needed sleep, I'm appreciating the fact that it's coming in the late evening. It's making for something approaching normalcy. I get home from work, he's awake for a bit so I can see him and play with him, then he goes to sleep and we get to deal with dishes, and watch some TV like real human beings.

I'm sure this won't last, but I'll take what I can get!

On a related note, for the last couple days he has decided to stay awake all morning, echoing the long sleeping periods at night. We get time to play, time in the sunshine, exercise and stories and songs. I'm also getting better at keeping his needs met during this period so he's not angry for long. This morning I was even able to get laundry going and write down some recipes with a mostly happy baby in tow, instead of having to wait for him to sleep. He's so good.

It's always such a relief when they finally start sleeping and giving the parents a little much needed down time.

CP, I'm sure you have a lot more laundry now! I'm glad you are able to get a routine down, it makes life a lot easier on everyone. We all know, little ones aren't always cooperative on the routines we would like them to be on. They seem to set their own clocks for the rest of our lives

He sure is one precious little guy!
