Never A Dull Moment!

What a fun week! This week has been full of playing and learning. Not only has my little Mensa canidate figured out how to grab his toes he's also figured out how to grab everything else in sight and put it into his mouth! In the matter of days Brett and I have gone from having a smiling little ball of jerky movements to having to watch every little thing he gets near. And so it begins.. As I'd mentioned, Caleb is REALLY interested in the kitty! He looks like he's really thinking hard about how he's going to get that kittys tail in his mouth. Needless to say, the cats are starting to sleep with one eye open these days!

The last 2 weeks have been almost like a dream around here. Ever since the change in Caleb's formula and increase in his medication it seems like a dark cloud has been lifted and we're starting to see the sun again. We rarely have hysterical crying for no apparent reason and he's starting to nap a little better. I've even gotten him into his swing a few times this week for a snooze. Prior to this week, anytime I would even act like I was going to set him down in the swing he would scream until he was purple so we're making progress! I think that he's so used to feeling awful that he just doesn't know what to do with himself when he doesn't. Hence our napping problem. Its entirely possible that he's just a cat napper by nature however I find that hard to believe given that he sleeps so well at night. I don't think we'll truely know until he's been feeling well for more than a few days or hours at a time. We're extreemly hopefull that we've found a system that's going to work f
or him.

We're still struggling, unfortunatly, with trying to make people understand that, although it seems that he's getting better, we're still not out of the woods. We're also not real willing to rock the boat right now. As silly as it may seem, we're afraid that one false move and we'll be right back at square one. We're not ready to risk it just yet. I'm also no more ready now than I've ever been to leave him with someone. I think Brett put it best when he said that people are treating its as though Caleb is 12 and we're not allowing him out of the house without us. He's not even 3 months old yet. Most days he wants Mama and only Mama and I don't see a thing wrong with that. There will come a day, sooner than I'd prefer to think about, that he's not going to want a thing to do with me. Until that day comes, I will be right here whenever he needs or wants me. Furthermore, I kind of like the little guy and I prefer to spend all of my time with him! I don't want to miss one smile,
giggle,
coo or tear. I will know when I'm ready but that's not going to be anytime soon.

Typically Sunday mornings are my morning to sleep in but tomorrow is the last Wright golf outting of the year so I'm on duty. I had better get to bed, my little charge doesn't take no for an answer when he's ready to get up!
