Rain redux

Yes, it's still raining here. I'm struggling to find exciting things we can do indoors. There's only so much time an infant can spend on the tummy-time mat or in his bouncy chair. Today Cristiano's parents, aunt and cousin Luana leave for a week on the beach in Sharm El Sheikh. That means my team of babysitters will be away and I won't get my two hours of "me time" (in which I do laundry, clean the house, grocery shop and cook dinner; sigh - $31,500 spent on that Master's degree down the tubes) in the afternoon. And with rain forecasted through Thursday, I may start climbing the walls. Dylan and I have a nice little pattern going now. No, he's still not (grrrr) sleeping through the night. Nowhere near it. But he now eats about five times a day (not counting the unpredictable night feedings, obviously), and I can plan the day around that. I can also almost always anticipate when he's going to get fussy and try to quickly change scenery (changing scenery can mean going to change a diaper or putting lotion on his baby eczema) so as to avoid hours pacing the house with a screaming infant. Today he is looking especially cute. I'm posting two videos below. In one he's just "kickin' it" (literally - he's always got his legs going!) and in the other he's making various perplexed faces. I think he often doesn't look like himself in pictures but the second video is very him. Observant BabyCugini readers may have noted that he continues to lose his hair and is well on his way to being bald!
