watch out world

Oh my.

I may have a problem on my hands with my super-great sleeper.

Levi seriously has been the BEST sleeper.

He has slept through the night forever.

He takes good naps.

I just put him in his crib with his pacifier and blanket,

and usually within ten minutes he is asleep.

No crying.

I wish I could tell you exactly how to train your child to do this.

I can't.

He totally did it on his own.

Until today...

which brings me to my problem.

Today I put Levi down for a nap and about thirty minutes later 

I was still hearing noise in his room.

I went upstairs to check on him.

As I peeked inside his room this is what I found:

Someone {Levi} has learned to sit up AND stand up in his crib.

And today he turned it into a really great game.

I sat outside his door for another twenty minutes and watched him.

He would pull himself up and look out the window for a while.

Then he would let go with one arm and plop down on his mattress,

play with his blanket, and then pull himself back up again.

He did this over and over and over.

I kept sitting there thinking surely he was going to get tired and lay down.

Nope.

Never happened.

So, finally I {fun hater} had to intervene.

I went in and he gave me such a huge smile.

Like he wasn't tired at all 

and was having so much fun hanging out in his room.

I laid him back down and told him it was time to take a nap.

I was pretty sure he was just going to go back to his game when I left,

but he must have been worn out because he went right to sleep.

Phew.

I am hoping this is not going to become a new routine at our house.

Oh, and have I mentioned that Levi is on the move?

As of this weekend, my little boy is CRAWLING!

Watch out world,

here comes Levi!
