Jack's a Big Boy Now!

[ To the tune of the Huggies commercial . . . ]

So - we've made it this far - Jack is pulling up, he's climbing, he's scooting all over the place. Nothing can contain him. Jack's mattress went from position to sweet little newborn precious baby boy to you can't hold me back I have places to go (but I'm still sweet) position.


Jack hasn't taken to his lower digs yet; who knew it would really make an impact on his sleeping behavior? Since lowering his mattress, Jack has completely dismissed his perfect record of sleeping 9 hours a night, straight. He now wakes up around midnight and is restless through the morning.

Today I put him down for a nap - he managed to sit up (which he does by lying on his stomach, planting his feet and walking his hands backwards until he's in sitting position), disregard the fact he was exhausted and play. I finally noticed him when he started slapping the side of his bookcase and giggling.
