Observing Jax

Carolyn had an appointment at the salon so I'm sitting with Jax. Carolyn always tries to schedule her appointments around his naptimes if I will be sitting with him to make it as easy as possible for me. Jax has always cooperated by taking a long (2 hour) nap and waking up just long enough for a little play time with me before Carolyn returns home. Lately, however, he doesn't go right to sleep upon being placed in the crib. He's learned some new skills and practices them for a while before he grabs his small lovey blanket and settles down long enough to fall asleep.

The new skills? He crawls. He sits. He pulls up. He's even tried a little cruising around the crib. After a half hour of all that activity, he has dropped off to sleep.

I love watching him on the video monitor. What a treat to be able to view without influencing activities. He's perfectly happy in there on his own. Wouldn't it be wonderful to know what's going on in his little head?

Today, Carolyn has told Kate that she will eat lunch with her. So, I will have a couple of hours to read without guilt.

The video below was taken yesterday. I stayed with Jax while Carolyn & Brent observed Kate's dancing lesson and then picked up Carlee. Jax was asleep when I got there and woke up about 5 PM. He was excited to see me walk in and laughed when I clowned around for him.
