On the Move

The sleep training got off to a rocky start last night. After the bedtime rituals, Mom put Caleb in the crib. This part was actually easy. Caleb talked himself to sleep shortly after he was down in the crib. Unfortunately that did no last. A couple hours later, just as Dad was settling in to sleep, Caleb woke up quite unhappy. Caleb cried for well over an hour. Mom went into the room on a regular basis in an effort to soothe him and he finally back asleep. He was awake several times in the night and Mom got up to comfort him each time. As a result, he did not get enough sleep and has been pretty tired this evening. Mom would not let him sleep so that he would be ready when we put him down. For the record, he's already asleep and has slept longer tonight than he did last night.

Although he is not crawling yet, Caleb is becoming more mobile. We have to keep a much closer eye on him on the changing table now because he is liable to wiggle right off. Mom captured several pictures of Caleb playing on his jungle gym. What follows is an uninterupted series of pictures that have no human assistance whatsoever.
