I have such a great boy!

Look at this kid! Not only is he ADORABLE, but he's turning into such a good baby. I can eat just about everything (still no Mexican food or heavy garlic) I want. Such a relief because it was getting difficult trying to avoid pizza and red sauce :) . The best thing: He puts himself to sleep! WOW! It started about 3 nights ago. He woke up at 11:30 pm and I had to change his diaper...he ended up awake for an hour. He got tired but cried even more when I rocked him or cuddled him. So I put him in his bed and turned on his mobile. He sucked his thumb, made really cute soothing noises, and after 15 minutes he was asleep. I thought it was luck but he did it again the next day for his naps and has been doing it ever since! So different than Hailee. Darren and I had to "train" Hailee to fall asleep in her bed alone at 8 months. I'm so excited but at the same time it's wierd. I go in and check on him every half hour because I just can't believe he's fallen asleep, lol. This means I will have so much less stress when we travel over Christmas. Flying from Tulsa to Seattle is a long day, then 2 1/2 weeks visiting family makes for a long vacation.


So that's my good news for the day. Now I'll go pick Hailee up from school and hear all about the fun she had!
