All On His Own

For the VERY FIRST TIME, Diego fell asleep in his crib on his own this morning! He usually naps around 9:30 am and this morning since we didn't go running (bad on me), I gave him a bottle then put him in his crib. He only fussed a tiny bit, not even real crying, before I heard nothing. I tiptoed down the hall to find him passed out in his crib just 5 minutes later. Yay!!!

Last night we had a really great time at a friend's house for Sunday Potluck - a tradition we have enjoyed the past couple of years. The families all have children - all ages - and they are terrific! Smart, funny and very down to earth people. Diego LOVED being around all of the kids. Little 3 year old Jane has a bit of a crush on him I think...she kissed him all morning at church and then all evening at dinner. She was sitting on the couch next to us and said to me, "He sure is cute. I sure hope Diego likes me." How cute!!! Diego did very well around all these new faces!

He is also starting to sleep better at night. He's not needing a bottle anymore...just a few sips of water and he goes back to sleep quickly. I think I got to sleep in my own bed for like 6 hours last night!

It's really, really hot here and I think I'm going to ask our neighbor if we can go swimming later this morning. The heat index has been up in the 105's!
