Quick Update

I really mean it when I say it's going to be a quick update... promise!

Daniel has 2 teeth now and has been really fussy. And he's become attached to his mama. Nobody else will do when it's time to go down for a nap or when he's upset about something. Poor Jonathan has a tough time when I have things going on at night and he's home with a fussy baby who won't calm down. I've been "working" with him at night trying to get him to sleep for longer stretches. He will go 6-7 hours without eating, but he wakes up multiple times during that 6-7 hours and I have to cuddle him to get him to go back to sleep. I've been trying to let him "cry it out" but it's so hard and I know it keeps Jonathan up too and he gets up early with Benjamin. I think we're making progress though. He had a 4 hour long stretch of sleep with no waking last night. Yay!

Benjamin has been willingly trying new foods lately, which is a huge step forward in trying to get him to eat healthy foods. Most of the time he spits the new food out as soon as it touches his mouth, but at least there's EFFORT. He still loves to read books and finds some interesting places to sit and read for awhile. And the coolest thing ever happened yesterday- we were running errands and at one place we had to wait a little bit so I started counting the chairs in the waiting area to keep Benjamin occupied and Benjamin started counting along with me! He can count all the way to 10 by himself. We don't really know where he learned it, but I think it's from a book we got last week at the library (One,Two, Buckle My Shoe). Yay for my smart boy!

This cracks me up- Benjamin wanted to eat with the serving spoon. Whatever gets the food in the belly!
