sleep

James can be a light sleeper some days.  One day he was napping and I dumped ice into the ice bucket in the kitchen and he started crying.  That has gotten better since we got him a loud fan for his room.  But that's not the story I wanted to tell you.  This morning we went to MOPs (Mother's of Preschoolers).  That means he didn't get a morning nap because he can't sleep when other people are having fun.  So we left at about 11:30 and he fell asleep in his carseat almost immediately.  We went to get gas and he slept through that.  That's not all that exciting now that he can sleep through the car stopping.  Then I went to the tax office to renew the registration for Matt's truck.  I got James out of the car seat, carried him in, took care of business, strapped him back in the car seat and drove home and he is still asleep at 1pm!!!!!  He groaned a little and squirmed when I took him out of the car, but he never opened his eyes.  I wonder where he got that from.

In other news, he is walking very well.  While we were with family for Thanksgiving, Matt counted 20 steps without falling or holding onto anything.  He still doesn't want to eat much table food, but he is eating baby food pretty well when he feels good and he's growing.  He'll probably pick up on that like he has everything else:  avoid it at all costs then one day pick it up like he's been doing it all along.  My stubborn boy.  No idea where he got that trait either.  ;)
