One month & counting……..until my babies’ 1st Birthday! I’ve started getting into party-planning mode this week. Cory & I are planning on having a low-key party with just our immediate family & a few friends. The first thing on my list is to get invitations decided on & ordered – that is my goal to have completed by the middle of next week.
We had Cory’s cousin’s wedding this past Saturday and the boys did great. We went to everything, including the ceremony. They were so well behaved during church and fell asleep in the car on our way home. We went to the reception and even stayed a little bit into the dance. The boys really had a good time and it was nice to get out & visit with everyone. We spent the day on Sunday doing a bunch of running around (& even went to lunch at Fazoli’s) and the boys did great that day too.
The boys have been sleeping pretty well lately – with even one night where no one woke up at all! The boys are sleeping around 10-11 hours each night. They fall asleep somewhere between 6:45-7:15 PM and don’t wake up for their last bottle around 8:45 PM. They are sleeping in their cribs for the night around 9:15-9:30 PM. Colton sleeps until around 5:15-5:45 AM and Wyatt sleeps until around 6-6:20 AM. They each take turns waking up once a night but a quick nuk replacement and just a little fussing are all we have to deal with (which is a huge improvement!). Wyatt usually sleeps like a rock and doesn’t even fuss for a nuk.
The boys have been eating all real, adult food with just their lunch-time fruit addition being baby food purees. They love feeding themselves. I need to start to come up with more ideas for dinner for them and plan ahead. I really want them to eat well and that won’t happen if I keep waiting until 15 minutes before dinner to decide what they are eating that day.
Wyatt
Wyatt is getting into everything lately – he’s such a speedy crawler. He loves getting into Bailey’s water dish so we are working on learning that her dish is not for splashing around in. His other favorite thing to do is to go into a room and close the door behind him. He usually does this in the bathroom, so I am able to open the door and “slide” him out of the way to open it again.
Colton
This whole week I have been finding Colton sitting up in bed when I go in to get him in the morning. (Both of the boys’ mattresses have been lowered but I’m thinking we’re going to have to lower them even further now that both boys have been trying to pull up on things.) He wakes up early around 5-5:15 AM but will stay in his bed and entertain himself (either by playing with his blanket & seahorse, watching the projections from the sound machine on the ceiling or just kicking his legs against the bed rails) until around 6 AM.
