Juju - 7 Months Old!, Leana 2.75!

Juju celebrated his 7 month birthday in the Methow Valley this past weekend (more on that in another post soon). This month was marked by some efforts at "sleep training", as encouraged by our doctor. Juju goes to bed at 7pm and was regularly waking between 3 and 4 for a quick feeding. A few weeks into our sleep training and he is doing pretty well, mostly making it anywhere from 5-7am. Traveling threw things off a bit, as well at teething...but I can just barely see his first two teeth coming through!

Leana also celebrated her 2.75 year birthday and boy is she is excited to "grow up" and be three like many of her friends. Ever since birthday party season started up she has been talking about "me grow up, me three, blue cake, blue hat". So we'll see if she still has the same requests when it gets closer to her birthday. She also has rediscovered her love of bugs as the weather has gotten warm enough that they are all back out again, and her current obsessions also include Goldilocks and the 3 Bears and the 3 Little Pigs (but she mostly loves the Big Bad Wolf). It is so fun to watch her as she really gets into "imaginative play" and goes off to the 3 Bears House (our new plastic playhouse in the backyard) to eat some porridge and say hi to the bears.
