I know I will probably get angry messages from parents against sleeping with babies, but I don’t care.
Bryan has been sleeping with us since birth. But it’s gotten to a point now where he is basically taking over the bed. Or… more accurately, MY side of the bed.
You see, ever since he was a tiny little slob of meat baby, Grace had him sleep in a certain position that soothed him best. Now at almost 8 months, he continues to look for “the zone” when he sleeps. And “the zone” usually is turning his head (now his whole body) towards me and hold on to my pillow. But as of yesterday, his arms are no longer the only “intruders” to my own “zone”… He has now crossed both of his legs over! So my 1/3 of this dinky Queen size bed has effectively been reduced to 1/4.
I think it’s about time to move him to his own stinking bed…. He can have all the space he wants THERE.
In other news, Bryan also just started to take baby cereal (I know… new pictures will soon follow). It’s very funny to look at his face when he tries new food in his mouth. We never know what to expect from his expressions. Babies are most fun to observe when they start to externalize their experiences as they begin their physical exploration of the world.
Another not-so-recent news, Bryan graduated his first class — baby sign language. I am sure he didn’t learn much (I only see Grace doing all the studying), but a “team achievement” is one of the same. I will be proud of him later when he signs “milk” (or, “stop shaking me” ).
Bryan looks “stoned” like a deer caught in the headlight. He has no idea why someone’s taking a picture of him with a piece of paper which he tried but failed to eat. And no, he’s not a pot-head (yet).
