We're blessed that Evan's always been a good sleeper. He started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks, and has never cried when going to bed. We have a good routine down and think he enjoys it. Until a week or so ago, we hadn't realized how much he likes the routine!
Bed time is between 7:30 & 8 - whenever he starts yawning and showing signs of being tired. Lately, he's started asking US for bed! Below is his bedtime routine - it's super sweet! A kiss for daddy, a wave to Ernie, then he runs right down the hall and climbs the stairs. We brush teeth, he grabs his paci and lovey, then it's jammies, a story and snuggle, and Sweet Dreams, Evan!
Charlottesville hasn't disappointed! Who could forget our 27" snowfall last month? It gets cold too - in the teens and twenties - and Evan's learning quickly that you have to bundle up. He's got a great winter coat and hat, with mittens attached. But sometimes, kid mittens won't cut it. Today Evan decided that only Daddy's gloves would do to keep his hands warm. My, what long fingers you have, Evan!
A big thanks to our friends who invited us to the Discovery Museum today! It was a cold Sunday, just perfect for an outing with friends. Charlottesville's Discovery Museum has lots of rooms and toys and areas to play and learn. Happily it wasn't too crowded, so Evan didn't get run over by big kids. We spent a great afternoon there, playing the guitar with mommy, crawing around a huge pirate ship, and running with friends. There's lots to discover... including what's on the other side of the bathroom stall! Whoops...
If there's one thing a 14 month old loves, it's making music... er, noise. Our house is full of sounds - pops, squeals, dings, bangs, yelps, and best of all, laughs. Today's Saturday - perfect for hanging out in jammies and giving a concert! This little rock star even had the hair to go with it. Rock on, little man!
