His first space bar

Quinn tapped his first space bar today. Bec had him on her lap and was showing him how to hit keys and he hit the space bar three times. Bec thinks it was on purpose but I suppose it's difficult to say.

He's a monster sleeper. Taking after his dad, he stays up late - going to sleep at 10pm usually - and sleeps in late - waking up at 9am usually (with one or two snacks through the night). There were days this week that I had to linger around the house before going to work a bit late to even see them before I left. I seldom even hear the night snacking. Bec is getting some sleep but Quinn's constant thrashing makes her sleep intermittent at times, especially as morning approaches. He has slept almost entire nights in the co-sleeper but some nights he just won't sleep in it. I think he usually has two or three naps through the day (not sure - Bec's the expert on that topic).

He's making more and longer sounds. He's showing a lot more neck strength and head control. He's showing more core strength and ability to sit up. He's laughing some. He's had some days recently, including today, where he's just half a bubble off plumb - not fully fussing, but not settled either. Bec's constantly analyzing what she's eating (and getting a little sick of it!) but I'm not sure it's a food thing. I think it's just hard work being that small and growing that fast.

It was my "night off" tonight - a chance to go out and do something fun. I went to The Audio Shop that didn't have the headphones I was looking for. Then I went to a restaurant that's usually good (The Standard) and it was just ordinary. Then I went to the Museum Of Nature and it was terribly disappointing - under construction, uninspiring exhibits, poorly signed, poorly laid out, poorly done A/V presentations. I would have had more fun if I'd just stayed home. By the time I got home, Poopsie was at the end of his tether and he wailed at me until back in mommy's arms. Oh well - some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant.
