Kenny Stands Tall
So I set Kenny in his crib for a few minutes last night while I was puttering around. I came back into his room and BAM -- He was standing in his crib, leaning against the rail, and grinning at me.
He looked pretty sad when I then proceeded to finally take away his mobile.

Kenny
Well, I'm seriously behind on updates, but thought I would throw this up there:
Today Kenny started to pull himself up to a sit all by himself!

All I want for Christmas...
Well, as of two minutes ago, we have just noticed: Kenny is cutting his first tooth. One of his two front teeth. Way early for Christmas ;)

Mmmmm... Mushy
Some say too early, some say too late. Either way, Kenny ate his first solids on Sunday and he looooved it.

Just chilling
Well, he's not moving yet; but he did sit up entirely under his own support - his hands on the floor- the other day.
Solid foods are only two weeks away.
The dog poo in my yard is NOT picking itself up -- so Kenny better hurry up!
Here is a fresh pic of Kenny in my lap, sitting up, looking around, and just chilling!

A measure of peace
Well... Thank the universe for google. I read a tip that "felt" right. We try it, and Kenny napped today for 3 hours. Insert huge sigh of relief here.
So what was the tip? Try a swaddle. He's hated swaddles since the first month or so, but now he likes it. Go figure. I guess it makes him feel secure when we set him down. Or, maybe all those floppy limbs wake him up, and the swaddle holds him steady.
Whatever the reason; PHEW!!

Fussy Little...
Angel? Nope. Not at all. For the sake of avoiding another chip in the swear jar, lets just go with the standard Parasite.
So, little Kenny from pretty much day one has been an EXCELLENT baby. I’m no expert, but I’ve heard enough horror stories from other parents. By week two, Kenny had to be woken up for his middle of the night feeding. I’m not sure how long he would have slept, if we let him. By the second month, he was sleeping through the night, about 10-11 hours straight.
Month 4, we had a routine. He went to bed about 9-10 at night. He slept till 8 or so. Then he napped for mommy twice through the day, in the morning and afternoon, for a couple hours. It was WONDERFUL. He was happy, and we were happy. Happy little family. Happy.
Then a couple weeks ago, he got a cold. Now, I’m not saying this is the actual cause, its just the timeline. He stopped napping. I mean, you put this kid down, and he screams his head off. REFUSES to nap. He spends the entire day getting crankier and crankier. He falls asleep as we hold him (if you put him down awake, he screams); then we put him down in his crib, and he wakes up IMMEDIATELY screaming. The only way he will nap, is if we hold him the entire time. Grandma had him for a few hours on the weekend; he napped in her lap for two hours. Clearly, this is not ideal.
So that’s my frustrated rant. If anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE let us know. Otherwise this kid might be grounded as soon as he’s old enough to know he’s grounded, and for, like, 10 years.

Yeah, I've been bad for updates. Yesterday, I posted about 500 pics of Kenny on facebook. So yeah. Enjoy.
Also, here is a video from last night. You can see just how much energy the little parasite has these days.
