The end of the burrito

Last night Emmett was put to bed in just a sleep sack, completing his first full night unswaddled. We have been sort of inching toward losing the swaddle playing games like leaving an arm out of the swaddle, but last night he moved to the sleep sack (think sleeping bag with arm holes) and he slept like a superstar. Well, sort of. He is still doing this thing where he gets put down at around 7pm and wakes up at around 9 (speaking of, it is almost time) and then wakes up once during the night (last night was 4am) before waking for good at 7am. It was good to have him back on a more normal sleep schedule as the night before was pretty painful.

Day two of doing the stay-at-home thing went pretty swimmingly. Andrea still is coming home to a not-nearly cleaned up house after our day's adventures (today it was folded clothes on the bed that needed to be put away and a half-cooked meal), but we are getting closer to having things done. We got out for another run today (picture of the ride to left) and walked around the neighborhood some. I have been waiting for the landlord to come home from his vacation as he and I have to devise a hanging mechanism for the tandem kayak that I purchased secondhand a week ago, so that will be tomorrow's project with a boys' trip to the hardware store and everything.

I have to admit that I still get a little jealous of the huge smiles that Emmett gives Andrea every time she shows up. He gets so excited to see her, although I have to say that he gets a little whinier when he is around her as his mind seems to leap to food pretty much immediately.

Today's big events were multiple succesive roll-overs (back-to-front) and about 5 caught pees. Most important, Andrea got home at a decent hour and we got to go for a walk together in the park on a weekday! I really like this stay-at-home stuff.
