We have had a couple of very difficult days lately... Colby has decided that he doesn't really like to nap, so he won't! This results in a very overtired, crying baby who doesn't know what he wants... doesn't like to be rocked anymore or anything either. This is very hard to deal with all day and I hope it gets better soon. It's so funny because he goes to bed and sleeps all night with not a peep out of him at bedtime! Just naps during the day that he decides are not for him! He's already telling us that he knows more than we do, I guess!! LOL I'm told by the health nurse that this is most likely a phase and that most babies settle into good nap routines by about 6 months. Hopefully it happens a bit before then... we still have over a month until we're at the 6 month point!! He continues to amuse us with his little quirks... for example, this morning I picked him up out of his crib and was changing his diaper... he grabbed my hair and when I said, "No, no, please let go Colby", he let out the biggest giggle! Not so funny for Mom, but how can I not laugh?! He is smiling and laughing more than ever now and it's so much fun. We're working on rolling over from back to front and sitting up on our own. He can sit up for a few seconds, but then falls to one side or in front. It will come, I'm sure. Last night Gerry was trying to teach him to crawl... I thought he might be slightly young for that yet!! Colby is also holding his bottle, which is pretty neat to see. He knows exactly what happens when he sees his bottle and wants it NOW. He reaches out his hand and opens his mouth, but occasionally it hits him in the nose or on the forehead!! :) We're looking forward to Colby's cousin, Blake's, first birthday party this weekend. Can't believe he's 1 year old already!! Man, time flies!! I'll keep you posted on our napping situation and hopefully I'll have better news with my next post.
