We're Only Mildly Crazy

I realized today that the number of posts that I've published has gone down over the years. Oops. So here is my attempt to write more often.

Things have been mildly crazy around here. David seems to be gearing up (or down depending on how you want to look at it) to do away with his morning nap. I'm still clinging to it, but the other day as well as today he took a horrible afternoon nap even after only sleeping an hour in the morning. By "horrible" I mean he stayed awake at least for an hour after I put him down and then only slept an hour tops after finally falling asleep. On other days, like yesterday, he'll go down for a morning nap, sleep an hour, and then proceed to sleep for almost 2 hours in the afternoon. Consistent he is not.

This evening, David learned, hopefully, why it's not a smart idea to run around with a blanket on your head. It's something that he likes to do sometimes instead of pulling the blanket off his head, and until today, we've been able to keep him from injuring himself. This evening, however, while I was trying to get the blanket off his head and Ashton was trying to hold him, he fell face first into the rocking chair and crunched his nose. It already looks bruised, but I'm pretty sure that it's not damaged in any way. I had a little bit of a scare when following this incident I asked Ashton how you could tell if a nose is broken and Ashton said, "It bleeds." Then a second later, "Oh hey. It is bleeding." Yes, it was, but only a teeny tiny bit and David definitely didn't seem to care too much that I was touching his nose or wiping it. He only cared that I took his pacifier away to do so.

Next week, we get to find out whether we're having a boy or a girl. So place your bets now! We're excited to see this baby.
