aubreym | A short Tai post

I am beyond tired tonight. I haven't been napping with Tai lately because his nap is often a couple of hours long, and sometimes he drops the morning nap entirely - and when the naps are longer I actually feel like I have time to complete a thought. I don't want to waste that time on something insignificant, like sleep! Unfortunately his night-sleeps aren't going very well. He wakes up a lot and wants to nurse for long periods of time. I'm pretty sure he's teething. I just wish the teeth would come through already! I'm starting to consider night weaning, or at least sleeping in the guest bed so Tom can have a turn at waking up.

In more fun, less brain-dead news - Tai is walking really really well now. On Friday evening we were visiting John and Kendra and their kids and Tai randomly started walking backward. I don't think I've seen him do that before.

Yesterday Tom and I took him to a Vietnamese restaurant in the Mission for lunch and the (really kind) waiter brought him a plastic cup of water with a straw and Tom taught him how to drink from the straw. I was pretty proud of him (as usual).

Tai's also getting into dancing. Instead of just bobbing a bit, he's getting into it, bouncing and waving his arms. We were in the car and a song from Riverdance (hush, I know I'm lame) came on and Tai started dancing in his car seat. He thought it was totally hilarious when I 'danced' along with him. He also thinks it's funny when I smell his feet and make a 'pee-eww' sound. He keeps sticking his feet in my face so I do it over and over.

It seems like there's more to report, but apparently every thought has fled my brain. Tonight - bed, early. Hopefully more intelligent post tomorrow.
