So much going on

Sometime it feels like there is just too much going on to really focus on anything. Case in point, Melanie and I would love to begin the process of teaching Cole to fall asleep on his own (meaning no nursing to sleep, no holding, no rocking, no swinging, no riding, etc.), but the weekends sneak up on us so quickly we’re not prepared. So this weekend has come and gone and he’s no closer to being able to fall asleep on his own… poo. The good news is that we gave him some rice cereal with just water (instead of breast milk or formula) and he seemed to like that better so there’s hope for him learning to eat solids. He’s also getting really chatty. Check out this audio clip:

Yesterday we celebrated AJ’s birthday with her friends and family and we had a really good time. Cole did really well and was his normal, charming, smiley self. He fell asleep almost as soon as we got in the car

(please forgive me if this post seems a bit disjointed… I’m trying to type up some thoughts quickly so I can finish up a video project for work, VPN into work to do a bit of paperwork, shave, and buzz my head all before going to bed)

Look for a movie of Cole rolling over tomorrow (he’s getting really good at it)
