Balancing Act

Now that B can push his toy while walking, he decides now he wants to let go and balance standing up. This is a little cooler than "walking" and he does it often. I think the longest lasted 4 seconds. That is counting like this "one one thousand two one thousand..."and so on. That is pretty long. Lots of bumps and bruises. He got his first black eye the other day. Ok it was a tinge black near the corner of the eye for 1 day. Mike says it was a scratch, but I think it definitely looked like a bruise. I want to get him a helmet but I don't think they sell his size at a retail store.

We have been soooo incredibly tired lately. B is sooo incredibly active. He is definitely not the type of baby that can sit and observe everyone else (like his friend Robbie), he has to be involved. He hates being carried or held, unless he is tired. He is in to everything. To make matters worse, he has regressed in his sleeping habits. Hardly any naps and waking up 2-3 times a night. I don't get it. Maybe his teeth hurt. I am sometimes envious of Robbie's mom, she gets to put him down at 7pm, he doesn't roll too far away, and he enjoys being held and will sit on her lap. This is probably a really good temperament to have since Robbie will have a brother soon.
