Cuddle time

Nathan has been growing and changing like crazy! He is becoming more aware of the world around him--sights and sounds in particular. It is really fun to watch him get excited and smile and wiggle when he sees his favorite toy, the dog, or himself in the mirror, and to have him turn to try and find the source of a new sound. The challenging side of this new development is that he gets distracted when he's sleepy or awakens easily if he hears a noise while drifting off. He also gets bored being in one place too long because he's too little to entertain himself. The result of that is I spend a lot of time moving him from bouncy seat to playmat to crib to swing to dancing around the house, and not so much time showering or eating! :) Nathan always likes to snuggle during the day, and that has become even more pronounced as he wants to sleep but keeps getting distracted. Sometimes the only thing that will calm him down is a good snuggle on the couch with one of us. Yesterday was a particularly strong example of this, and we each spent several hours napping with Nathan!
