Okay, now that I can count the number of days on my fingers and toes...let the countdown begin! 20 days of tax season left. I am actually surprised at how quickly it has gone this year. Especially considering that we couldn't escape to grandparents' houses now that Pason has school. That being said this last two weeks feels like everything got put into slow motion. Probably because I am getting anxious now. Luckily we have great friends and family who have provide a much needed break from the monotony now and then. Next week we have some fun planned and then we're almost done. Poor Jared is probably going to need a week to recover. Eli has been a little stinker lately. After 5-6 months of being a great sleeper he decided that Mom and Dad needed a challenge. He not only wakes up several times every night, but he doesn't seem to think he needs naps anymore either. Instead he just gets cranky and wants Mom to hold him or at the very least be in the same room with him all day long. I keep thinking it's teething, but he hasn't had any new teeth since he was 5 months. This morning when Jared's alarm went off I thought "Yay Eli finally slept all night!" Only to find out that Jared had been up on the couch with him. I was just so tired that I didn't even hear him. He needs to learn how to crawl so he tires himself out more during the day, but he doesn't seem in a hurry to go anywhere. A part of me is glad because being non-mobile makes him seem more like a baby still which I am very happy to let him be...I just need a litttle more sleep!
I set Eli in his crib the other day and turned around to get clothes out of the dresser. When I turned around there he was looking very proud of himself!
