SoMo adventures

Benjamin and I have been visiting my sister since last Thursday. She had a baby on March 30th. He is quite possibly the best baby ever.... one of those babies that when people ask if he is a "good baby" you can say "YES" without hesitation. After the reflux/colic/screaming I endured with little B, Josiah Emerson is like a little doll. If you can't tell, I'm quite smitten. It has been fun to see Benjamin "interact" with his new cousin. We are trying to teach him what "gentle" means, but he doesn't always get it. He prefers to poke him, and steal his pacifier, blanket, or pants.


The travelling has also been an "adventure" in terms of getting Benjamin to settle down. Naps and nighttime are certainly more challenging in an unfamiliar environment.
After this weekend (where my 12 day old nephew sleeps longer stretches than my son), and the realization that my son will be 1 in just a few months, I am finally determined to find a way to "encourage" him to sleep longer. We will be in our new house after this weekend, so let sleep training commence!

One of the only naps of the last 4 days.
