Palmer is a busy busy boy these days. He can empty a cabinet/drawer/basket of its contents, unroll the toilet paper, and clear
all tables of
everything before you know what hit you! Little boy will be a year old in 6 days- WOW! He is cruisin around the living room now, switching from the end table to the chair, couch, coffee table, anything he can get a hold of. Now, there he goes into the other room to destroy the poinsettias, chase a cat, and invariably knock his head on something.
Thank goodness for naps! Unfortunately, Palmer isn't as much of a fan as I am anymore. He still takes a morning nap about 3 1/2 to 4 hours after he wakes up, but the afternoon nap is quite the crapshoot. IF he finally gives in and takes one, it's after a valiant fight with mommy and lots of standing and crying in the crib. I think he just loves to play so much, now that he's older he doesn't want to stop! If he takes no afternoon nap, that means he is awake from 12 to bedtime. . . which is a long time for a little baby to be up. In a terribly backwards way, being overly tired actually makes it harder for him to sleep, so a rough night follows. I'm hoping we grow out of this yucky adjustment phase soon! Yesterday was pretty perfect: woke up at 6:15, nap at 9:45 til 11:15, second nap from 3:00-4:00, and bedtime at 7:30. Today I will attempt to replicate this success!!! Wish me luck. . .
