our lives have effectively been taken over by the van search. in fact, "the van search" should be bolded, italicized, and underlined, with a voiceover from james earl jones. yesterday my dad came down to help us, and we test-drove 3 vans. they were all nice in their own ways and i did like them all, but i think we're going to keep looking because i didn't LOVE any of them. so, the search continues.
ian's sleeping issues have shown slight improvement. he has decided that sleeping on his tummy is where it's at, but there are issues that go along with that. he's old enough and skilled enough to do it without worrying about SIDS too much, so that's not a problem. the problem is that he gets turned over onto his back and promptly runs into the side of the crib or gets his legs stuck between the bars. so, we're borrowing a breathable crib bumper from jenny that lily never used, so hopefully that will solve that problem for now. but, napping has gotten insanely better since the tummy sleeping started...he'll nap for at least an hour now, and often for an hour and a half to 2 hours. it's awesome. a side benefit of all this tummy time he's getting is that he's looking closer to crawling every day. my bet is that he'll be crawling within the month. which means, i need to get cracking on the childproofing...it's been said before, and no, i still haven't done it.
spring has finally arrived here, so we're trying to start spending more time outside. abby's gone out on the patio a bit lately, but has complained because it's been very windy. but, this morning seemed to be okay, and she had a good time out there. i'm taking over the little garden area in back of our building, too, so we'll be able to be out in the backyard...abby playing, ian crawling around or in the bouncy seat, and me gardening. i'm looking forward to it.
