You're definitely becoming a little person these days. It's fun because I can converse with you like a regular person and you pretty much know what I'm saying and will act or respond accordingly.
I've been putting you to bed at night for the past couple weeks because you won't fall asleep with mom anymore. Because of this we've formed a pretty good routine of reading books and learning more signs for things. Over the past few days you've learned Giraffe and Gorilla (which is hilarious to watch you do as you bang your chest). You try to turn the pages really fast so you can do the next sign it seems.
After 3-4 books, I'll turn down the lights and try to sing you "hand, hand, fingers thumb" or just "twinkle, twinkle, little star" and try to get you to fall asleep without being rocked. It works more times than not, but some nights regardless of how tired you are you still fight it and roll around and kick but you seem to relax immediately if I pick you up and rock you. thank you! :)
This past weekend you let Eleanor tie you up in scarves. It was pretty funny, and you really enjoyed it as well. Here are a few pics. You two really do play well together often. Sometimes you annoy her and destroy her buildings, but mostly you guys do well together.
Love you big guy!
Dad
