Crazy Night

Last night was one of the biggest "struggles" we've had getting James to eat and go to bed. It started when we tried to give him a bottle at 9:00 as usual. He ate for a minute then discovered that if he shook the bottle the formula would splash out onto his face. He thought it was so much fun and his face was covered in milk after a while. Then he decided to try and splash mom with the bottle, but it didn't work to well. After that it was all about playing. He could not sit still long enough to eat anything. He would crawl over, take a sip of his bottle then be off again. He had a lot of things to do like, standing in the bed of his dump truck, pushing a book around the kitchen, climb on the fire place, practice walking, take all the toys out of his toy bin and of course he had to keep coming back for some "sips" from his bottle. Finally after 45 minutes we decided he was not going to eat the entire bottle and put him to bed. It wasn't until I was falling asleep later that I realized the cause of his activity, we had given him a handful of "sugar" cereal.

Doug has been working with James on his walking. He is pretty good but doesn't really have the patience for it. Crawling is much faster at this point and we have too much to do to waste time learning how to walk. He has really done some cute blog worthy things lately and we are missing our video camera.
