Energetic

Energetic is definitely a word I would use to describe Bennett. When he is done eating now, this is often what he does at his tray. He is also always crawling around now, NOT content in the swing and isn't quite pulling up to stand, but will get up on his knees and reach for things. I tried to buy a baby gate from our magazine-delivery service (yes, i order diapers, wipes, toys and other things from a service that delivers for free! I love it) but they no longer have them. Hmmm, containing him or entertaining him is my new, constant job. He is napping, but they are getting shorter (about 1-1.5 hours twice a day). He also continues to "head-butt" the side of his bed over and over again when he is unhappy in bed. Yesterday he moved the pack-n-play all the way across the room to the door this way. So, any suggestions for what a low-key, not high-energy mom is to do with a boy like this? Just try to keep up I guess. He is sweet and snuggly and smiley too though and I sure do love him. :)
