Crawling

Aaron is officially crawling (and creating havoc). With it comes pulling himself up and standing. The only problem is when I put Aaron to bed. He has a hard time falling asleep. Before I could leave him in his bed, and once in a while pat his bumb in order to get him to fall asleep. Now that he can sit up and pull himself up, he'll stand up and scream his head off, and won't fall asleep. I can stand it for about 15-20 minutes, but he has such a high pitched scream that I can only take it for so long. He also has a window of time to get him to fall asleep or else his sleep is messed up for the rest of the day. So I'm having to pick him up more so that I can get him to sleep. It's not a habit that I'm liking a lot.
Aaron has also been getting his top two teeth for about two weeks. One has broken through, but the other one hasn't yet. It wouldn't be so bad except that he just got an upper respiratory infection and the combination of the two has him waking up every hour screaming during the night for the last 3 days. Poor kid! (poor mom!)

We tried putting Paolo's baseball cap on Aaron. He wasn't to thrilled about it.
So about two weeks ago I left Aaron in his room to play with his toys. I went to check on him a few minutes later and found him in the bathroom. He's been crawling ever since. A couple of days ago I went to change his diaper and there were no more in his room, so I went to grab some more. I came back and found him in the bathroom again. This time he had put something in his mouth and crawled into the bathroom. He looked like a little puppy carrying his leash in his mouth. Needless to say, I've started shutting the bathroom door.

The other new discovery (of many) is eating more solid food. This is one of those baby foods that disolves in your mouth. After he proceeded to shove the whole thing in his mouth, I took it out and fed it to him pieces.

"It's not going down mom. Now what do I do?"

Oh my gosh! I remember when Melia learned how to stand up in her crib! For about a week straight all she did when I put her down was stand back up...over and over...all night! It will pass, don't worry! He is such a handsome littly boy, Julie!! It was 2 years ago yesterday Dan and I arrived in Bologna. That's crazy!
