This move is going on forever!! Here's the timeline:
Wednesday: Grandparents arrive. Start packing in earnest.
Friday: Pick up rental truck. Movers arrive to help load the truck.
Saturday: Drive down to Portland
Sunday & Monday: Unpack. Buy new furniture
Tuesday: Drive back to Seattle. Drop grandparents off at airport. Clean the previous house. Host a fantastic housewarming party!
Wednesday: Finish cleaning the house, return house keys, drive back to Portland.
I sure am ready to be done with this move! I think we've done a fantastic job. And we are indebted to grandma and grandpa for the time they have given us, caring for Dustin and helping to pack and unpack. As you can see from the photo, we're all feeling pretty exhausted!
Dustin is starting to sit forward in his car seat and baby swing. He does not want to be a lounging infant any longer!
His drooling has magnified, and grandma suggested he wear a bib full time, to save the clothes from being all wet. He also has developed a small rash on his neck, probably from the constant moisture.
He prefers falling asleep on his side, and then rolling to his belly for sleeping. He still has fairly weak arms, and doesn't lift himself up when he's playing on his belly. He has incredibly strong legs, so he tries to move by plowing his face into the ground, and lifting up his bottom like a runner on the blocks at the beginning of a race. We're trying to show him the fantastic utility of arms for crawling, but he wants to be a bipedal crawler.
For the past couple of days, he's been waking up twice during the night for feedings. He continues to have many (about 5) short naps each day.
