Day 180

Daddy's been gone 6 whole months! At least he comes home soon.

Guess who just woke up from a morning nap? Well, it was like 15 minutes...it doesn't really count as a nap. But it was in his crib...so I'll take it!

Definitely time to lower the mattress.

He loves his bath.

And sporting the stylish puppy robe.

Being very industrious.

Hanging out in the stroller at trivia.

Does this child never get tired of playing?

"Sitting up is just the best thing. If only there were a way to move around on the floor to get more toys. Oh well, that's what Mama's for. Night night, Daddy."

Day 179

This was the last moment today that there was any peace and quiet. Once he woke up from this nap, he was so full of piss and vinegar nothing was going to stop him!

Fuzzy 'cause he was a jumpin' fool!

We just braved a rain storm and his poor little (big) head got all wet.

Guess who isn't asleep? Well, besides me!

He thought it was time to cry some more.

No, wait, change of plans.

I turned the mobile on and he went bonkers.

Ah, crap. He's done with that now too. It's gonna be a looooooong night.

"I am not pleased with things right now. And these little sharp things in my mouth are really pissing me off. So I will say goodnight, Daddy, because I am certain that Mama will take me back to her bed to sleep now."

Day 178

Well, we now know he's not a vampire. Neither sunlight nor mirror had any impact. Maybe I should get out the garlic just in case.

He had a pretty good day...lots of smiles.

He thinks this is a Krispy Kreme. Just wait until he figures out I lied.

A little milk to wash down the donut.

The kid can't keep his tongue in his mouth.

Awww, look at those rosy cheeks.

"Is she making fun of my cheeks again? I can't help it if I'm adorable. Night night, Daddy."

Day 177

Hmmm...busy day today. I didn't really take pictures but I do have video. That should count for something, right?  =)

Here's a couple minutes of Colby playing. I know, nothing too exciting, but the kid can be pretty boring.

And don't worry, he was only crying because he was mad. As soon as I helped him up he was playing again.

And here is on the bed. I have no idea what he's doing...trying to make a call...trying to get up...

"I don't know how I'm supposed to get any sleep with this flash in my face. Goodnight, Daddy."

Day 176

Woohoooooooooooooooo! 

He slept in the crib last night. He fell asleep on me at around 8pm and I put him to bed at 11pm and he slept until almost 8am! He didn't even wake up. SUCCESS! Let's hope it lasts.

This is how I found him this morning. He apparently did a lot of turning and scooting throughout the night.

Silly boy.

I had a busy day and not a lot of pictures were taken. But basically he ate and slept and fussed and played. And pooped. Let's not forget about that.

I put him in the crib at 8pm and he woke up at 11pm. He was awake just long enough to cry and make me go in there. As I was changing him, he was laughing...in his sleep.

"I had to make her come in here. She was enjoying herself too much without me. But she put me back to bed anyway. Alone. In this dark room. By myself. I'm gonna have to wake her up at about 3am. Goodnight, Daddy."
