Spa Treatment.

We've discovered a new facial regimen that will soon be sweeping the nation.

The Sweet Potato Scrub.

The Banana-Rice Balm.

The application method is very precise. Please pay very close attention.

Progress.

+ inches + pounds + new foods - sleep
= two-thirds of a year!

Eight Months!

A New Favorite.

I think this was a Christmas present from Nana and Papa(razzi). Anyway, Hueston really likes it. The pages are sturdy, the pictures big, and we read through the whole thing easily. It's always fun to get to "Y is for YOU!" and see our weirdly distorted faces in the mirror.

David shot some video in our neighborhood on Friday morning. You can watch the edited version on YouTube here.

And this is what it looked like this morning.

Snow!

It's been coming down since this morning and doesn't show any signs of stopping!

Wordless Wednesday.

Sleep.

Tonight was Night One of trying to get Hueston to fall asleep on his own in his crib.
So far, we are coming up on an hour, and he seems to be asleep.
Hooray!
We'll see what the rest of the night holds...
Stay tuned...

ETA: [Wednesday, Feb 10, 9:05 a.m.]
10:07 p.m. - in crib
12:47 a.m. - crying - check in but don't pick up
12:53 a.m. - crying - check in but don't pick up
12:58 a.m. - crying - check in but don't pick up (Mom couldn't wait 10 minutes)
1:06 a.m. - quieter - waiting until 1:08 (10 minutes since last check)
1:08 a.m. - quiet
1:13 a.m. - licking blanket, but quiet - Mom goes back to bed
8:15 a.m. - awake, happy, and ready to eat

I think this first night was a success. We'll see how it goes tonight!

Eating Habits.

Hueston is definitely showing more interest in food!
He even leans forward to get to the spoon.

More sweet potatoes...

...and we've also added banana and boxed rice cereal to our repertoire.

Today, we tried green beans!

Toy Time.

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin...

I'm not sure which progression is easier to follow, but you get the idea!
