Poor Rohan. He is almost one and I keep treating him like a baby. I was looking after Haydon today and I had playdough out for the two toddlers. Rohan wanted to see what they were doing so I finally put him up in his high chair and eventually gave him some playdough. He loved it and lasted almost 10 minutes before he gave it a little taste. So, then I made him some pudding paint…which he was welcome to eat…and which he promptly did when I wasn’t looking. I keep treating him like a baby but he really is turning into a little boy who wants to try to do everything Edzea is doing and he understands a lot more than I tend to give him credit for.
He was trying to one of Edzea’s tricky jigsaw puzzles in her room today. He knew what he had to do because he’s watched her do them so often but I never thought he would put it all together in his head. Sure enough he was placing the pieces on the board and getting frustrated when we were trying to get it away from him. Unfortunately, he doesn’t get much time to learn/try things on his own with me because the minute I start to play/interact with him solo…the green-eyed monster joins in! Although that goes both ways. He doesn’t like her to sit/cuddle with me either. Aahhhh. The joys of having two and trying to be fair to both!
Today was the first day that Rohan had two naps without much fuss and he completely drank his bottle without fussing and hitting it away before his afternoon nap. I finally had him in his crib for almost an hour and a half this afternoon.
He’s now in his crib all night. He gets fed once at about 2 or 3 am and then sleeps until 6/6:30 when his sister wakes him up. He was cooing/talking to himself for the first time the other morning in his crib. It was sooo nice to hear him wake up like that. Happily, in his crib.
Anyways, this is just an update for me for his baby book.
