First Night in the Crib!

After last night with Tristan waking up every 2 hours or less, Josh and I got to talking. Tristan is currently in the portable crib in our room, which was definitely not made for long-term sleep arrangements. The mattress is sagging and it looks really uncomfortable. We decided maybe the best solution would be to transfer our little man to his real crib. I put Tris down for his 2nd nap in the big crib. He was looking around at everything and babbled for a bit and then went right to sleep without fussing. He then proceeded to sleep for 3 hours! I put him in the crib tonight also... we'll see how it goes. Right now he's sleeping peacefully and has been for almost 2 hours. I miss those days when he'd sleep for 5+ hours at night. I think that was because he was in his bassinet and it's a lot more sturdy with a firmer mattress. One complaint I do have... I need a nursing chair in his room! I will get one with the tax return. We've got plenty of room for it now :)

Josh and I are going to watch a movie. I'm so glad I waited until the weekend to transition Tristan into his crib so I have some back-up. So far so good!

Looks like we are going through this together! Good luck!

Mark bought me my glider for Christmas last year. It was from the store I use to work at and thanks to my discount we got a huge discount. I am so glad we got it. I hope you'll find a great deal on a good chair too!

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
