Well, I took whole bunches of pictures today but it's just too darned hot to get up to get the cable, hook it up and download the pics. Yes, most of that activity involves the simple click of a button on my keyboard but that would also require the last bit of mental energy that I have left, so we're without pictures for now.
Nathaniel is officially a "two nap baby." Not that I've read that term anywhere, I coined it myself just now to describe the sleep pattern we're in these days. I say "we" on purpose as his sleeping definitely impacts my own :) I have to admit, going from three pretty consistent naps down to two has been pretty rough on both of us. If I had my way, we'd be back to 5 naps a day, but that's a dream that is months behind us now...
Nathaniel has also gotten significantly worse at eating. He still has an incredible appetite, the problem is that the world is just so darned exciting, he can't keep his head still long enough to get the milk down. He's really good at latching on and getting the milk going and then really good at popping off and letting the milk spray all over him and me, much to his delight. Funny. Ha. Because of this he'll only eat when he's STARVING and at that point he's tired too, but once his belly is a little full he thinks to himself, "Hey, I'm not tired!" and pops right off again and crawls around the bed.
Luckily, Jed was the voice of wisdom the other night, suggesting that maybe it would be okay to let Nate eat and then be up for a little bit and then put him down. Lo and behold, this sage of a husband I have was right! The best part is that this is now bringing Jed into the bedtime routine, as he's the one who gets to carry him around during his "awake time" between eating and sleeping. Wait, maybe this was all just a plan on the part of those two to get to spend more time together, hmmmm....sounds fishy to me!
