Back to Reality

We had a great visit with Gammy and Pop. Thomas was a definite entertainer the whole time we were there... shaking his head, making funny noises and falling into pillows! We got to see Cousin Drew and Uncle Trent and spend plenty of time in the pool. Thomas is getting better and better at moving around and can pull himself up and use furniture to walk around. Fun to watch and not so fun to try to leave him alone!

He is also depending more and more on us to help him sleep. He woke us up almost every night we were away and needs us to rock him almost totally to sleep at bedtime. Because we know he can do better than that, we did our normal bedtime routine last night, rocked him for only a couple of minutes and then put him down. He was an unhappy baby about that and let us know about it for 58 very long minutes. Fortunately he slept through the night. Though he woke us up at 6:30 this morning, he at least remembered how to get himself to sleep! Sneaky little boy to get us trained like that- good thing for us we finally caught on!
