Happy kid!

Eli has been impressing us lately with happiness. He has been (mostly) sleeping at night (besides getting up to eat) and has just a few fussy spells during the daytime. He is very happy in the carseat as long as the car is moving and he is not hungry. He has been taking 5 oz of milk in the bottle from daddy most nights (somewhere between 8PM and 10PM). That seems like an awful lot for a little guy, but he usually ends up going 5-6 hours before the next feeding, so we can get in some *sleep*!


On the other hand, Ben has been having sleep issues lately - basically refusing to nap on some days. This creates chaos with his night-time sleep pattern: therefore mommy and daddy's night-time sleep pattern... Not fun. He has been a fairly good sleeper up to recent times, so I'm not sure how to handle this new scenario. We have inherited a number of "help your kids sleep" books, so I'll have to start doing some research...

Here's a video of a happy boy and his happy goose calls...

And a clip of the 2 boys.

and another of the boys...

For the 3 of you that are actually reading this blog - feel free to skip over the videos - They're mostly for grandmas that live too far away to see the everyday goings-on in our house... :)
