Groundhog day and oh yeah, tank is two months old today!

Happy groundhog day! It looks like another 6 weeks of winter according to the groundhog. My kids were cracking up watching the video, they said "that groundhog doesn't know how much more winter we have left!" hee hee. I guess I've passed my realism onto my kids.

On another note, Tank is two months old today, I can't believe how fast the time is going with Tank. I got out the baby toys we have that he can make work, I have one that he pushes on the animal and it plays music and turns on lights and stuff. I also have another that he kicks it and it turns on the music, sounds and lights. So far the one he kicks is his favorite. We decided last night that it was time to get serious about having him sleep in his crib on his own instead of in the swing or in bed with us. Up until now those have been survival tactics but he's quickly outgrowing the swing and I need to sleep in my own, not with a squirmy little boy. He actually did pretty good. We were anticipating a fight with lots of screaming and crying. We got him in some warm pj's, changed his diaper, I nursed him and put him down. He cried on and off for about an hour but the rest of the night he slept great. I know some of you are going to think I'm a terrible mother letting him cry that long but he was fine, all his needs had been met, he just wanted to be held in bed with me. I know this because I pick him up at times like this and he instantly starts smiling at me. I'm being played. It's time for me to get some sleep and for him to use the crib. Anyways, here are some cute pictures of him grinning at the camera!
