I’ll admit, I haven’t given the blog much thought in a while and I will shamelessly blame it on Caleb’s nap boycott. The kid used to take amazing naps lasting two hours or more. But recently he’ll sleep 30 minutes at the most. This gives me just enough time to keep the house from falling apart. He’s also grown bored with his bouncy seat which was the only sure-fire way to get him to sleep. Naptime is now a challenge of patience and creativity for myself. I won’t complain too much though because he’s been in the best mood; often holding intriguing conversations with me in his own language and spending lots of time just observing the world around him. It’s really gotten so much easier to parent him now that he is more interactive; that’s why I titled this post Cruise Control. I no longer have the urge to grab some sort of baby manual. I think I have a pretty solid grasp on this whole motherhood thing…at least for now.

Since the last post, my 25th birthday has come and gone. Andy took me out to dinner and a movie while Caleb hung out at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. Since the baby, dates that don’t involve a diaper run to Target are a rare and much appreciated occurrence.

Here are some pictures of Caleb and Daddy spending some quality time together; the last picture depicting an activity they love to share together. Enjoy!
