Arthur: 38 Weeks

After many days of non-sleeping, I think we’ve finally turned a corner.  Arthur’s slowly getting back to an actual sleep schedule.  Woohoo!

Likes: Food (of any kind), computers, balls, cuddling, grass

Dislikes**:** Going to bed, missing all the fun

Sleeping: He’s still not back on a great sleeping schedule.  Thankfully we are inching our way back to a 7:30-8:00pm bedtime.  Napping is still hit or miss.

Eating: Everything in sight!  After many failed attempts to get Arthur to eat cheese, he finally ate some…  it was feta on a fig, bacon, and feta pizza.  Weird I know!  But at least it’s something.

Playing: Lots and lots of playing.  I bought him a walker last week and he’s loving exploring that toy.  He’s also rediscovering items that make noise (shaker eggs, tambourine, etc).  I will have to get him some more musical type toys.

Medical Milestones: 

• Responding to simple commands — He acknowledges a few commands, but doesn’t always respond correctly.  His new game is to “run away” while naked.  It is a game for him…
• Grasping small objects with thumb and index finger — Check!  He’s got this thing done!
• Becoming attached to a lovey — Possibly.  He loves having one of two blankets for naps and bedtime, but no specific stuffed animal yet.
• Pulling up at furniture or even standing on his own — Check on both counts!  He’s cruising along furniture.  I’ve even caught him standing on his own a few times for about 3 seconds.

Schedule: None exists anymore… Ugh!  I am not liking this.

Out and About: We had quite a week at the beach, BBQ, and park visits.  Looking forward to another great week of activities.
