Monday

Teddy and I spent the first part of the morning hanging out in bed, talking and doing a little core training.  He seemed tired and whiney by around 8:00 so after trying a few options out, I put him in the swing and he fell asleep after about 15 minutes of smiling, laughing from our conversations we were having.  I was incredibly thankful that he fell asleep as I was feeling very tired from my 85 mile bike ride I did yesterday.

I woke up around 930am and got his bottle ready thinking he would wake up any minute, but he slept until almost 10:15.  He woke up happy and seemed kinda playful so we played for a bit and then at 10:30 I gave him 5oz.  We then played with some toys on his mat and I got things ready for a little adventure.

I took him to REI and we checked out some toys for me although he seemed to really enjoy everything to look at.  We were there for about 30 minutes and then headed home.  He fell asleep on the way back around 11:45.

He got up around 1:45 and he ate 5oz.  We then worked on standing up from a seated position.  I would sit him down on me facing me and grab his hands.  "Ready, Go" and I would just start to pull a little and then he would take over flexing his biceps and staightening out his legs.  He would then pull my hands all the way to his chest and stand up, flexing different muscles through out his body to try to stabalize himself.  He'd look down at his feet while doing it and when he got all the way up, he'd raise his head and look at me with a huge smile coming across his face.  This kid's ready to go, he just needs his body to catch up........

I saw him rub his eyes once and headed over to the porch swing to try to get him to crash.  Susie came home and yelled to me, "looks like your in your spot!"  We rode out the swing for a while and then he started rubbing his eyes alot so I moved him to his crib.  Five minutes of whining and sucking his hands and he was out cold at about 3:30.

He woke up at about 4:30 and I fed him 4.5oz.   After playing for a little bit and doing a mandatory training session, we went on the swing for a bit and then suited up in the bjorn and headed down to pick up Katy at the train station.
