Out of the crib part II

Being the ever forgetful parents we are, the day after we discovered Guinness could climb out of the crib we still hadn't moved the dresser that was beside the crib out of the way. So Monday morning when Chris got up, Guinness was playing in his room. Then, when Annabelle was there and he was having his nap, she caught him in the act: she opened the door to him standing on the dresser. And the little stinker looks right at her and says, "NO NO NO NO NO!!!"

Ha ha!

Now the dresser is moved away and he is stuck again. I kind of felt bad for him, I think it showed a lot of creativity and strength to figure out an escape route, only to be outmanouvered by his parents (who are three times his size and much stronger). I feel we had the unfair advantage, hee hee:)

Oh boy...

It was bound to happen sooner or later...

After Gemma woke me up this morning she went to see Guinness so we could get him out of his bed. Except when she opened his door, out he ran. Which means at some point he climbed out of his crib, and was just playing in his room waiting for us. (He can't open the doors in our house yet.)

What a kid.

Guinness loves Daddy

It's true! Daddy is who he has to go check on on the morning and daddy who puts him to bed at night most nights. When he sees Chris he always exclaims "dada!!!". It's so cute!

Car

Newest word: car. He is referring to the Princess car, which he loves as much as Gemma did.

Sleep Machine

This kid, he is amazing.

We kept him the say we arrived until 1am. He slept until 4:30pm the next day. I had to wake him up, because I was getting worried he wouldn't sleep at night. It was my plan to keep him up till 10pm, to make sure he would sleep through again but he passed out in Chris' arms at 9:30, and then slept through (with only 2 short awakenings) until I woke him up at 3:30pm. So like 18 hours of sleep straight!!! I guess travelling for 30 hours pooped him out.

He travelled great. Wasn't too much trouble, but didn't sleep too much either. He couldn't get comfy on my lap so he would sleep for 2 hours and then wake up crying, stiff and stodgy I'm sure. He ate well, did a few laps of the aisles.

He loves being here, although he hasn't really been awake to do much yet!! Everybody loves him, of course! He's really just a great baby.

Second Child

Well, we have committed the classic 'sin' against the second child.

Not enough pictures.

I am trying to pick out ones to print for his baby book, and there are some serious gaps in his chronolgy:

No Halloween. (And he was such a cute prince ronald, from paper bag princess. Gemma was elizabeth, of course)
One crawling picture.
No first steps.
Few Christmas.
No first tooth.

We're sorry, baby! But we have lovely pictures of your 1st birthday trip to Bali. Next time you feel angry at us just look at your passport!

He can say 'cookie' and 'no'. He usually says 'no' while pointing his finger.
