Awake

It's 3:28 in the morning and this is what Clark is up to!

Instead of fighting him to go back to sleep I am waiting out the Benadryl. Before you think I'm a horrible mother who drugs her kid to get them to sleep, Clark has had a really bad rash and the Benadryl was for that, but there is the nice side affect of the product.
He's been sleeping pretty horribly this week. Wanting to be up and in our bed. The in our bed part is normally fine because he'll sleep, but this week it's been Clark wakes up, then comes to bed with us and insits on laying on me. Fine too, but it doesn't last long and he rolls around on me and Clint and none of us get any sleep.
So here I am writing a blog at 3:30 waiting for him to get tired.

So while I'm waiting for him to get sleeping again, I've noticed changes in his development as a growing kid. For instance, he loves to play with my cell phone. He holds it up to his ear and says, "YA YA YA" or looks at the screen. My phone has a Pandora AP and Clark loves to listen to the music because I think he thinks it's talking to him.
I was also noticing that he is now able to crouch down, pick up something and then stand back up.
He's also mastered the skill of turning off the kitchen light. He hasn't yet learned to turn it on because he's not tall enough.

Moving to my parents' house has been a great bench mark for measuring Clark's growth. When we first got here Clark was just a blob on the floor. Then he learned to move around on the floor, then crawl, and now he's running around the house. He's also almost completely stopped spitting up. :)
It will be nice to use our new house as a bench mark for further growth and some serious sleep training...
