on the move

Aaahhh!  My life will soon get a lot harder.   Zeke is laying playing w/ a toy and he’s almost rolled completely onto his stomach!!   He keeps rolling to his side and then back again.  it’s nuts!   For the last 3 + months it’s been pretty easy adjusting to a baby, he sleeps or just lays around, he rarely cries, unless it’s  been way too long since he’s eaten but most times we feed him before he gets that mad.    I kept thinking in 6 months, Bo will be 2 and there’s a good chance Zeke will be walking, both the other 2 boys walked at 9 and 10 months.  I better get in shape if I want to keep up w/ two toddlers!   I’m excited to Zeke roll, for a while I worried since all he did was sleep, but he’s making up for it just fine!

Another milestone, Bo has slept in a toddler bed all week!   Last time we tried to move him from the crib(we had one for him and one for Zeke so it wasnt an issue of needing the crib)   it was too hard because he wouldnt be quiet or stay put and it drove us and Caleb nuts.  So I thought we’d try the transition when we wouldnt have to deal with how it would affect Caleb.  Day one was a little iffy but since then it’s been great.  he sleeps there for nap and at bedtime stays put too.  the catch of course is the same as it was when he was in the crib, he thinks if the bedroom door is open he can be awake, so that made it hard to do w/ Caleb because Caleb hates the door shut.   So, as long as we get back to putting Bo in bed about 30 minutes before Caleb, giving Bo time to fall asleep w/ the door shut then we can put Caleb to bed and keep the door open and put a gate so Bo cant go too far.  I’m hoping it’s as easy once Caleb gets home, the biggest issue will be w/ Caleb since I moved his bed, all of the other places for the toddler bed left Bo sleeping rihgt next to electrical outlets and so his bed is in the only safe place for him.  I like the layout of the room now but Caleb is used to sleeping up agains the wall and now he cant.  so we’ll see.

Speaking of Caleb, we get to see him tomorrow!  I imagine he’ll seem even bigger and grown up to us since he’s been gone for a week.   All my boys are growing up, what am I to do?!?
