Tales of Baby McCabe: Days Go By

Not a whole lot is new in our house. Nolan had adjusted to the cast as much as possible. He can roll over and army crawl on the floor. We bought a mechanic glider and he glides around on the floor with it. Watch out, though, because that thing hurts like crazy when it bangs into you or rolls over you!

Nolan's sleep never improved as he adjusted to the cast, so we are giving him Melatonin before bed (with pediatrician's approval). It took a little trial and error, but it seems that 3mg works for him to sleep well. Once he gets the spica cast off we'll stop giving him this sleep aid.

William is doing well, although he misses playing downstairs (Nolan does too, but poor Nolan misses doing a lot of things right now). If Nolan takes a nap, and William is awake, we'll take him downstairs to play. He loves having free rein of the toys! Nolan is still having a hard time sharing his toys with Liam, but is slowly learning to share with him. The other say he asked Liam to come play with him, which was so cute.

Liam is pulling up on everything now. For the first time today, he was standing up in his pack n play when I went to get him after his nap. He was so proud! His funny personality is also showing more and more. He is a little ham, squinting his eyes and making silly noises to make us smile and giggle. He gets the biggest grin on his face after he makes you laugh. It's the best.

I am officially done with school! It doesn't seem real yet that I won't be going back next year. It probably won't until late August or after Labor Day. I am excited to spend more time with the boys though! I'll be even more excited when we can actually get out and enjoy our days.

We take Nolan to the orthopedist on Monday for X-rays. Keep your fingers crossed that the doctor will decide to take this cast off and put a leg cast on the following week. That will make a world of a difference!
