Manipulation

I am pretty sure Noah has a good idea of "cause and effect" now.  If he cries at night, I go get him.  Sheer tiredness causes me to fall asleep.  He used to only cry first thing in the morning when he was hungry, however lately he has begun waking up at midnight to 1am and wanting me.  I fed him last night and tried to put him back.  He woke up 10 minutes later.  He's not hungry, he wants into Mom's bed. But really, would you rather sleep in a warm, soft, cuddly bed with Mom or sleep alone. Sleep alone on a firm mattress with minimal blankets and no Mom. :(  I am being manipulated.

As I was eating breakfast the other morning, I had a cup of coffee.  Noah kept reaching for it, but we put it out of reach and told him "no".  As soon as I got up to put the dish in the sink and passed by him, he lunged at my coffee.  Ryan almost dropped him.  I think he also knows when he isn't supposed to do something.  Little twirp!

Noah is eating more food at this point, though he still doesn't seem to care much for the veggies yet.  I've tried, I started those first, and he just didn't care for them.  He prefers fruit, but even then, you can tell he  doesn't care too much.  This was the case until I started adding cinnamon to his baby food (the applesauce type) and he can't seem to get enough of it.  He LOVES it.

It seems the cold season has made its' rounds at daycare.  Noah had it, then 2 of Anne's kids had it, and lastly, Owen got it.  Poor kids.

playing nice with Penelope.  He's so gentle.
