Homeful again

Tuesday, 1 January 2008 Jacob Tomaw

After sleeping 4 different bed over the last 11 nights, I am looking forwards to the next several nights in our bed. I am also looking forward to not un- or re-packing the car any time soon.

Jonah has met everyone I can think of, except his Grandpa Tomaw. Most of these people freaked him out a bit. His Grandmas (particularly my mom) and Great Aunt Chris were the clear exceptions; they could calm him down very quickly.

It has been amazing to see how much he has changed in 11 days. I feel like we have brought home a different little boy than the one we took to Indiana. He can now clearly focus on things and tonight was the first time a saw him care if his mobile turned. Also tonight while I watched him and Jos slept, I was able to let him tire himself out with the mobile and pacifier sucking (he just fell asleep). 2 weeks ago I had to spend 15 min swinging him in his car seat before he would sleep.
