Trip to Grandma’s

Last week Dane and I stayed at Grandma’s house for 3 nights. It’s a 2.5 hour trip. I had to pack up all entertainment items; needless to say, my vehicle was overcrowded. The trip down went well, Dane slept the entire time. The way back, I won't discuss. While at Gram's AKA Mamal, Dane was a good baby. My grandmother has so much patience and love and I could see Dane feeling it. She even insisted one night that he sleep with her to give me a break. He did so well. I’m already planning a trip to Pittsburgh with my husband where we will drop Dane off at Mamal’s on the way. Also at home, I saw my Ma, my Pa, my brother, my nephew, my 2 aunts, cousin and friends. Here are many photos from the trip.

Nap time

This morning Baby Boy fell asleep on the floor. This is a first for him. He took the blankets, built a nest and then slipped into a deep sleep. Why is this such a big deal, you ask? Because my baby fights sleep. Always has. (Believe me, I've tried everything!) Some days he doesn't even take a nap or it's only for a half hour or so. I think I read that babies his age sleep 12 hours at night and a total of 3 hours during the day. He's got the nighttime sleep down pat, just not the naps. So now you can see why this is big deal for me. He's a much more pleasant baby after a good nap. :)

Sitting up

My mom stayed with us last week and taught Dane how to sit on his own. It was probably timing but none the less, we didn't see him do it before her arrival. We enjoyed having Nana stay with us. Here's a photo of Daner sitting. Yes, I know his shirt is soaking wet with slober. :) Usually I have a bib on him.
