Memorial Day Weekend

Not much to say, really! Things are going well. Sam has officially cut his third tooth. An upper incisor, but not one of the center ones -- the one to the right. Anyway, it has definitely made for some fussy moments and difficult sleep, but things aren't bad. Really, since I'm with him 24/7 the sleep is much more under control, though he does still have his rough moments. But generally, we have a schedule!! He wakes around 8:30, we have breakfast and play. Then around 10:30 he naps for two hours. Then around 3 or 4 he takes another nap for about an hour. Then he goes to bed around 9:30. His waking at night in general is not too bad, unless the teeth are really getting to him. Also, some days have been really hot and I think that makes for difficult sleep too. He wakes up with a sweat spot on the sheets!! Poor baby! He seems to just run hot. Some say teething brings a little fever so maybe that's happening too. I should note that we really don't even try to get him to sleep in his crib these days. It's co-sleeping/sleep sharing all the way. Think what you will, but right now it's the most successful arrangement we've found.

Aaron is working 35 hrs/wk and Sam and I play, sleep, eat, and clean during the day. I haven't gotten into too many of my projects, but I did start a blurb baby book for sam (www.blurb.com) which I can't help devoting too much of my time to. I have started working on text for the astro shirts, and I have also started plans for my new edition of Mumlors. But I haven't started making things.

Memorial Day weekend was nice though. Lots of family time for Aaron, Sam, and I. The weather was great, if a little hot, but we did get Sam a wading pool. Sam thinks water is so much fun!
