week 27 pictures

we're getting closer to having to baby proof the house... ryan is moving backwards and almost on his knees. we'll find him off of his playmat and moving toward the kitchen. in his crib, the bed bumper has become a crumpled mess as he uses it to push off of. we'll find him 180 degrees from where he was put down.

he liked the solids added this week: mashed potatoes, prunes and applesauce. he's always been a better eater than sleeper although the sleeping has become routine now. he goes to bed around 8pm and wakes at 5:30am for a feeding only to fall asleep again. some nights he will sleep straight til waking at 7am (i wake up at 6am wondering what's wrong on those days). despite the early morning feedings, i actually don't get tired during the work day. perhaps i'm just too busy to notice that i'm tired or maybe the words a local farmer said to us was true: "kids require a lot of energy, but the energy comes from our kids".
