Arthur: 42 Weeks

Ugh! What a week!  I feel like we’re back at that newborn stage; all sleep deprived and cranky.  It’s been rough.

Likes: Sleeping on mom or dad; cornmeal biscuits (finally found “bread” that he likes); playing ball

Dislikes**:** Sleeping; diaper changes (such a struggle now); the hall gate

Sleeping: Arthur’s started taking naps again (woohoo!), but they are fairly inconsistent in terms of time and length.  I’m think he’s now transitioning to one nap, but it’s been really rough.  Night time sleeping is incredibly complicated.  He’s not allowing us to put him in his crib until 10 or 11pm.  Then he wakes up at least once before morning.  Argh! We’ve tired changing to the bedtime routine, but he’s very resistant to bed time.

Eating: Such a good eater lately!  Anything and everything from my plate.  He tried and loves raspberries!  He also tried cornmeal biscuits and loves them!  We’re having so much fun trying new dishes.

Playing: Since Arthur seems more and more interested in structured play, I am pulling some activity ideas for the coming weeks.  So far, we’ve explored his puzzles, train track, and lots of rolling balls.  I’m loving the new play developments.
