He's Still Here

Yes I have noticed the "lack of Makin" because Lorelei seems to be getting all the posts lately! Maybe its just me worrying about being fair. :) Anyway, had to take a few pictures...really some of the reason for lack of pictures is because he does not want to stop moving for any pictures! :) He may just earn Flash as his nickname. ;)

And as for what he is up too...being that awkward age of 11 months. He thinks when he gets a two minute nap he is good to go and does not want to get any more sleep. He wakes up some nights, and others sleeps fine. It is not a fun time where sleep is concerned. :( The good news is, we have gotten the hang of patting his back (Lorelei would never sleep with this so its a niiiiice change) and he will fall asleep that way, so working our way out of so much rocking. Not sure how close we are to dropping morning nap...but working our way there.

The other thing I have noticed is how good he is at going and playing by himself! Again, big change from big sister! If I'm cleaning up something in the kitchen, he will just go into the playroom and start playing. I can see a future of actually having a few minutes to drink my coffee (without nuking it three times) and perhaps even reading a magazine!!! Maybe... ;)

And I have been rethinking not getting his hair cut with Lorelei...getting a little long!

And one more note...his surgery is scheduled for January 11th now (couldn't get in until then) unless they call us and tell us they have an opening, then we will go in sooner. The speech lady says it is no problem, but this mommy is not convinced...but this is the choice and we are sticking with it. :) And the other interesting thing in that area...he has a tooth smack dab in the middle of the roof of his mouth! And the good news...its normal! Phew. This is from them pulling the tissues to close up the palate. Just have to see a pediatric dentist in the next year and see if they think it needs to be pulled or stay. Yuck. :(

Love you little man!
