Maybe he is still a baby.

On the weekend we went to the mall to buy the kids robes (dressing gowns).  They are hard to find here for some reason.  It might be because we are halfway through the winter season in a place that doesn't get very cold.  We did manage to find one for Makena but no luck for Kess.  He wanted a hat as a consolation prize.  There was a buy one get one free promo going on, so he picked this fox beanie thing as the second hat.  I tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted.  He has decided it's his bedtime hat.  This is how he falls asleep every night, nearly as soon as his head hits the pillow.  He generally wakes up before anyone else, but I suspect he wakes up in the same position.  I wish I slept as well as he does.

While I'm here, I'll mention that he did wake up vomiting last night.  This was his 3rd time in around 2-3 months.  Makena had her 5th time last Wednesday.  We have no idea what's causing it but it always happens in the middle of the night and once they empty their stomachs the are perfectly fine.  Mark and I are usually exhausted from the sleepless nights but they are fine.

We took Makena to the doctor after the 4th time.  She did a bunch of tests including a stomach xray, but she suspects it's just bad luck.  We will see how how we go this week.

Nap time.

Go figure. It turns out that the only reliable way to get Kessler to take his naps during the day is to put him in his jumper. He'll jump in there forever or until he falls asleep. He's done it twice a day for the last 3 days. I tried to video it before but by the time I got the camera, he's out cold. I had what would have been an awesome video today, but I guess I never hit record on the camera. I was able to salvage this video, however.



He's such a sweetheart.

Ni-Ni

Now that I finally figured out why my videos weren't posting properly, I have to catch up on some older ones.

Kessler LOVES his jumper. I usually put him in it when I take a shower.. the shower takes a very long time to warm up so while he's hanging out and the cold water is draining from the pipes, I'll try to get chores done. The jumper squeaks like crazy so I know as long as I hear squeaking, Kess is okay! On this particular morning, all of a sudden I notice that there is no squeaking.

There never is NO squeaking, at least not without crying and that only happens after 45 minutes of jumping. So, I run to the bathroom to find something similar to what you see in this video. In my panic, I jerk him out of the jumper only to realze that he's sleeping. So, I put him back in and he immediately falls back to sleep allowing me to take this video. Nearly as rare as Kessler not jumping in his jumper is Kessler sleeping when there is anything.. ANYTHING else to do.

We notice over the next couple of days that he has a runny nose and it seems like he's not feeling well. That explains the odd behavior!

If you have speakers, you can hear the poor little tired guy snoring.
