new bed, new semester

Well the semester has started, and though we are barely into it - it feels like a whole new world already. I love coming home to see my boy - and I rather love going to work. Funny it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. I think I actually have the easy part - leaving! Terry and Jessica have it harder - as does Hank. He is doing well so far, but getting him to stay asleep for his mid-day nap has been a bit challenging. Otherwise, the kid is a champ! Eating well, playing, enjoying himself. I think once he starts eating solid food, it will be a bit easier on Terry and Jessica, and I am sure Duke will enjoy it as well.

We finally put Hank's crib up - he has been sleeping in his pack and play and was growing out of it - so it was time! It makes his room a bit cramped - but that is what you get for living in a puzzle. I think it's actually ok, but seems less spacious then before. He moves around so much though - it was really time for it to happen. Generally he wakes with coos and giggles - so though he has had a lot of new things this past week or so - I feel like he is doing well with it.

Now if we could just solve that nap problem - all would be well! Hank is really staring to "play" more and enjoys holding things and looking at them. I think he was trying to figure out how his duck, aka Duck-Butt works - legs, wings, beak. He was looking at his this morning, turning it around, really studying it. Of course as soon as I took out the camera, he only stared at me! But really he loved it!
