I am proud to report that we've completed a full week of William sleeping in his crib... success! It was very sad for me at first, but he's doing a great job in his own room. I miss being able to see him from our bed, but I know he's fine - and he's about 5 feet down the hall. We've even had another record for most sleep... 10:30 to 5:30am!
This is my last week of maternity leave; I can't believe it. The days, nights, and weeks have flown by. I am making sure to appreciate this time that I have home with William, just the two of us. I'm very lucky that I'll be able to continue to work - part-time from home, with one full day in the office (Friday) each week.
We had a fun weekend - made the trip to Kyle for Grace Boren's 2nd birthday party (William's first party!) - he was very good. Also took him to Joel & Renee's house to grill and relax outside today. It's been in the low 70s and high 60s, and beautifully sunny. This Austin "winter" weather is just amazing.
Started a "channel" on YouTube with short videos of William so that the Grandparents et al can see how he's changing and learning. There is a new one of William holding a rattle: http://www.youtube.com/user/ErinEschWilliam
Your baby is an excellent listener. He recognizes your voice, and he'll show you his pleasure by smiling at the sound of your greetings. He's also excitedly using all five senses to learn about the world. You can actually see how hard he's working to assimilate the new information he's exposed to every day. If something grabs his attention, notice how hard he focuses on it and stares. He's taking it in on many levels.
