No More Monkeys

While Caimon was hanging out with grandma on Saturday, we moved his crib and put up a twin-sized bed. He was really excited when he saw it (especially with the 'Cars' sheets). His first night he slept really well, even better than he normally did in the crib. His second night was pretty good, but at 6am he came knocking on our door saying, "Come in!" So he spent an hour or so sleeping in our bed this morning.

Anyways, while I was trying to get Caimon to take a nap yesterday, he discovered that he could bump his head into the headboard. I'm not sure why, buy he thinks it's great fun! Last night he was in playing on the bed (it's still a new toy, after all), and he, apparently, jumped face first into the headboard. He bit partially into his bottom lip, leaving some nice marks on the inside. He lost a lot of blood for someone so small, but he calmed down after about 10 minutes. While reading before bed, Sara decided to read the story about the monkeys jumping on the bed. Caimon got into the story, as you can see in the video.

P.S. That's his "new" bed in the video.

Easy as ABC

It's fun to watch Caimon grow and learn, although it can be difficult at times. He's starting to figure out numbers and letters -- he can recognize several letters, now. And he's showing some appreciation for music and singing. He likes to 'play' the piano and sing along to familiar songs. We tried to capture a video of him singing the alphabet (because grandma requested it), but he was a little camera shy. He joins in singing some of it with mommy, but then gets distracted toward the end. But, still, not bad considering he's not yet two years old.
