Another week flies by!

















Well, another week has flown by! We didn't do much these last few days, just stayed home and played a lot. We've been spending a lot of time outside, again. It's been so nice lately! However, We have been struggling with naptimes and nighttimes lately. Xander has been screaming in his sleep and is virtually inconsolable, and is getting very poor sleep, so he is a bear when he's awake. I broke down and took him to the doctor yesterday. He's not sick, no ear infections (which is what I thought it might be). Turns out he's having night terrors, for which there is nothing you can do. It is happening while he is in a deep sleep, so he's scared and screaming but it not fully waking up. Our nights are long and sleepless. We were up with him no less than a half a dozen times on Sunday night (we got about 3 hours of sleep, each). Last night wasn't quite as bad, but I was up at 4:00 and never went back to sleep. So, that has been the major stressor in our house lately. Everything else is going beautifully, they are eating, playing and growing well. Grace and Will have started babbling the syllable "da da". Brian is proud! Still working on creeping and rolling. Grace can get up on all fours with some help and rocks back and forth. Xander has been getting on knee under him while he is on his tummy and pushes himself forward.

Top: Will having tummy time.
Bottom: Xander in the exersaucer, it's a favorite!
No pictures of Grace this week, sorry!
