He's Out!

Yesterday morning was scheduled unusually for me and Taylor--I went to the temple early in the morning, and my late morning walk with friends (who are also new mommies) began even later than usual as a result. By the time Taylor had been through waking-up an hour early, staying with a babysitter, and going outside later than he's used to, he was exhausted! Amazingly enough, he was still a really good baby for me through it all.

When we got home around noon, Taylor was ready for food and a nap--bigtime. As his whimpering got a little more intense, I laid him down under his Baby Einstein play gym to try to entertain him for a few minutes while I quickly made a bottle. I listened to him cry while I did this, feeling bad for making him wait so long to relax. After just a minute or two, the crying stopped completely! Wondering what had changed, I went into the other room to see him totally zonked-out, with his hand gripped tightly to a dangling toy bird and his bib flopped over his face. It was both the funniest and cutest thing he had done all week!
