Morning Person

One of the fun things about Caleb is that he generally wakes up in a good mood. Any kind of sleep charges his batteries and he wakes up very outgoing and talkative. As I said yesterday, sometimes Caleb spends the morning with me. Other mornings, mom puts him in the swing or his bouncy seat. This morning, Mom put Caleb in his swing and was just as happy as could be. He was screeching and I could hear him in the bedroom as if he was next to me.

Today was the last day of teacher work week. Starting next week, Mom and Caleb will be getting up really early so that Mom can be at school by 7:30. That means that Mom and Caleb will be up early and out of the house. Unless I get up much earlier than I am accustomed, I won't get to enjoy mornings with Caleb like I'm used to.

Caleb can sleep anywhere. It's not uncommon for him to fall asleep when we are in the car driving. Tonight, we met another couple for dinner. Caleb was asleep in the swing when I came home. I tried to pick him up, but he wanted nothing to do with it. I put him back in the swing and he went right back to sleep. When it was time to go to dinner, we moved him to his car seat and he went right back to sleep as we pulled out of the driveway. This is how we found him when we got to the restaurant. It looks extremely uncomfortable to me, but it's not uncommon for us to find Caleb sleeping with his head pitched forward like that.
