adventures with baby

Thomas is almost four months old, and every day he amazes me with something that  he can do.  I just put him to bed, and he was grabbing at a pull toy that is attached to his crib.  It plays a lullaby, and I’ve pulled it a few times before.  He never paid any attention.  Tonight, he was very interested in it.  So, I gave him a little stuffed animal and he held onto it and tried to put it in his mouth.  It was so cute!  I know he’s not supposed to sleep with anything in his crib yet, so I’ll take it away after he falls asleep.  Hopefully, it will distract him a bit.  He also was grabbing at my magazine as I read it earlier.  He was pulling at the pages, and they were ripping.  So then I sat with a board book and tried to put his hand on each page as I turned it.  He can’t rip those pages!  He has made huge growth with napping.  I am able to put him down and he’ll fall asleep after fussing for a few minutes.  I suppose  part of it is that I am learning what works for him.  He will only take a bottle is it is really warm.  And I mean HOT.  No leukwarm bottle for this baby.  I learned that the hard way.  Now he’ll take a bottle the first time I give it to him, as long as it’s the right temperature.    Tomorrow, I have an all day workshop. It’s Daddy’s first day solo with the baby.  I’ve prepped him as well as I could.  Hopefully, I’ll have a good report tomorrow night.  Wish him luck!
