again?

The afternoon nap protest continues here. This must be a solid week now. I am trying some new put down strategies also, but I don't think that is what's causing this, nor do I think it is because of his cold. He has been working really hard lately at getting into stuff, climbing on questionable things, trying to talk, etc. I think it's developmental milestones in the making that are wrecking our schedule. We are all trying to stay positive here and for the most part it's working. He isn't terribly cranky in the afternoon, and does fall asleep pretty quickly at bedtime. Only problem is that he wakes up a bunch of times in the first two hours after we put him down. My best guess is that he thinks he is just down for a nap and is ready for action again.

Went to the Child and Family Center again today. Can't beat the free play materials there. Some kids with questionable behaviors- not super bad, just somewhat rough around the edges, but when they start acting up, we just go check out other things in a different room.

We have noticed that Bright is going through some sort of eating spurt. I made angel hair spaghetti with just regular low sodium sauce and some cheddar cheese on it for him and he ate almost two bowls in a sitting. Today he ate a half an avacado, minus a bite or two for Andy, along with his regular lunch. He's been jammin' on Club crackers for snacks lately and gets really annoyed if you have one and he wants it bad! We have also learned that yes, you can choke on watermelon when you are 14 months old. Ugh- enough with the choking. Daddy needs to give him smaller pieces (hint, hint).

Check out new pictures.
