Hold on to your hats, ladies and gentlemen...Jack is mobile! Last night I left him on his alphabet mat in his room for about 30 seconds while I went to the kitchen to check on dinner. When I came back, he had somehow gotten himself over to the heater (about 5 feet away) and was playing with the electrical cord. I took the cord away, of course, unplugged the heater, and waited for him to show me how he managed to perform this new feat of movement. The answer is, he scoots (or army crawls, or whatever you want to call it)...backwards... It is the funniest thing. This morning he figured out how to go forward also, although that's a little tougher. He is really proud of his new skill, and has been scooting around his room since he figured out how to do it. I guess we need to get on the child-proofing pronto!
After three nights of crummy sleep and very short naps during the day, Jack finally crashed last night. He curled up into a ball and fell asleep on the couch with me around 6:00. I managed to wake him up and feed him a bottle before putting him to bed, but he slept soundly through the night. Poor tired little boy.
