A great recent story about my Brodster is from about a week and half ago. Kris and Delaina were still in town so a bunch of us went to get Indian food (Guru Palace - its amazing please go). So Jake was of course at work even though it was holiday. My dear sis-in-law Sarah wasn't feeling particularly great so she stayed with my two and her own. Everyone was cool except Brody hadn't fallen asleep yet. I thought he would mess around his room and worse case not sleep. Being such a fighter of his naps in the past many months I was prepared for that. Then half-way through the meal I get a text from Sarah saying that Brody got to the backyard twice and are there any tricks she could try to get him to sleep. I was curious as to how he escaped but didn't think much of it - perhaps when she opened the door to check on him he bolted for the back to door or something. I told Sarah to not worry about it. Then a little while later once we got home I got the full story from Sarah. Brody (being the He-Man that he is) moved his bed up to the window then, using the height of the bed, pulled himself up onto the window seal. All of that he has done before up to this point. I have to deal with it on a daily basis and he is a pill. But he decided to try something new since he had a babysitter that day. He then proceeded to UNLOCK the window and open it (cause I am 99% certain I checked before we left) punched a hole in the screen and climbed out of the window onto a chair that sits in front of the window in the backyard!! What a punk and but how impressive, uh!!
Sarah was awesome enough to catch him doing it a second time on her phone
So we then ,after hearing the story, spent the rest of the afternoon in a group effort to Brody-proof his room so that he can't open the window (and yet not put bars on them) and make it so Brody cannot -for all his strength and conniving - move his bed. Good news is that it has worked since then no bed moving and no window climbing!!
Ryan on the other hand has not escaped anything but rather clings to people and cries for more to eat. He has had a fourth ear infection and to help clear it up even more he has been on a breathing machine for the past week. Considering everything though he is thriving and lots of smiles and thumb sucking from him. Unfortunately his schedule changed on me and he has been sleeping from around 8 or 9 pm to around 3 or 4 am. Not bad for his age but still the week or so of the 10 pm to 6 am really made me want that schedule to be permanent.
Last week at the dr office Ryan weighted 14 1/2 lbs and he has started cooing lots. He is a little over 14 weeks.
We celebrated Ryan turning 3 months by introducing rice cereal. First try he devoured it but since he hasn't done so good.
Brody got his first tooth around 3 months so I am worried the same will happen with Ryan (worried only cause Brody's teething was absolute hell for him and us). So I have been checking his mouth since I have noticed he has been trying to eat his fist!
So precious - I can't get of enough of my tiny joy!
