The Weather Outside is Frightful...

Or at least too cold to go outside and play. However it'll be warming up here again soon! 20 degrees today, maybe I'll take him out with me to get the mail. 20 is kind of my tipping point though. Last winter it was 40, what with him being all tiny. At 40ish degrees I'd bundle him up in a snowsuit, strap him to me in the moby wrap, and we'd walk around the block. If grandma was over, we'd just alternate carrying him. But being a big boy now, bipedal and a veritable heat production plant, I'd bundle him up and let him play outside at say 25 degrees, for awhile at least.

He was just playing next to me, he loves his peg toys. But now he's running in circles. Dining room -> Living Room -> Kitchen -> Dining room. He loves running and hopping in circles. Oh, now he found his popcorn popper. He still won't use it correctly, but he loves to be chased by it. Ok, that's enough of the popcorn popper, now he's being silent out of sight.... and around the bend he comes, no worse for wear it appears.

He's been sleeping better overnight in general, however he's been waking up after 9 hours and not wanting to go back to sleep. ~.~;; I'm pretty sure something is wrong with him, I'm hoping it just something simple like a tooth, but his bum is so sore, and nothing we put on it seems to protect it. It'll get a bit better overnight, soaking up soothing stuff, but by evening he's back to being nervous about even sitting in the water. I've been meaning to buy this and try it for awhile, Coconut Oil (http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Organic-Virgin-Coconut/dp/B003B3OOPA) however I keep getting distracted *buys it now* to try on it. Keeping my fingers crossed that if not this, then the doctor will be able to figure something out tomorrow at his 15 month appointment.

Sighs, and he's trying his best to break into the cabinet under the sink. Distraction time!
