Sleepy Baby

What is up with Mr. Ryan? Yesterday he slept from 8:30 am - 2 pm at daycare, fell asleep on the car ride home, slept 5:00 - 6:00 in his crib, slept from 6:30 - 6:50 when I wheeled him around the block in his stoller, then slept from 9:15 last night until 4:45 am this morning. This child has never slept that much in 24 hours since the day he was born!

The cool part is that the baby monitor reaches to the garden, so I did some raking in my perennial bed while he slept. He is probably having a growth spurt. Saturday only his toes touched the bottom of the exersaucer, but last night I noticed that he can stand flat-footed in it. We started him on green beans on Monday, 2 weeks earlier than Dr. L suggested, but he has been very hungry. He took his first bite, looked confused, then grinned. He eats them right up. He has spit up a lot of them though, but always on Dad :)

This morning Terri Ann asked me if I wanted her to wake him up if he zonked out, but I said no. I am a firm believer in never waking a sleeping baby (except to go to daycare - it breaks my heart)!
