A closer shot. I figured I might as well go for 2 since I was already risking waking him up!

CJ and his crayons.. he plays with his crayons usually at least once a day. His current fun comes from dumping the crayons out of the box!

3 May 2005

CJ's first night sleeping in his big boy bed! We're so proud!

4 May 2006

CJ slept great his first night in his big boy bed. A few murmurs during the night but he slept all the way through. And he was a very happy baby after waking... I guess he's glad he prompted us to let him sleep there!

5 May 2006

What a way to end the month! After CJ's nap he was playing quietly on his bed before I got him and then all of a sudden I heard a boom and cry. CJ was playing with the curtains (evidenced by curtain rod half off) and fell off the bed. Here's his boo boo.. he bit down on his lip with the fall!
