Easter Morning, Sleeping Issues and New Skills

We had a great Easter and Grant was overindulged to say the least! He loved coming downstairs to see what the Easter Bunny brought him. He immediately started opening everything and proceeded to spread it out all over the house. Then, about an hour later, he went back over to the couch and said "uh oh, where are all my toys", LOL! He forgot that he had moved almost all of them and then wanted more, go figure.
Sleeping has been rough this week but improving drastically after our baby boot camp. Sloan has been rolling over from tummy to back in the middle of the night once or twice consistently. We have to go in her room, roll her back over and put her pacifier back in and she passes out. Then, the smart little baby that she is, decided that she liked getting her pacifier whenever she woke up in the middle of the night! So, she got up 6 times in one night! Ugh! The next night, I put her against the bumper so she couldn't roll as easy. Sure enough, she woke up crying but was still on her stomach.....ahhh parents 1, Sloan 0! She cried for about 15 minutes and then passed out. Every night since has been perfect with no rolling over or waking up! Problem solved just in time for kid #2 (Grant) to have an issue! A few months ago, Grant tripped in the den and went face first into the coffee table. An ER visit later, we found out that his nose was not broken and he was fine. However, I think it made his blood vessels sensitive in his nose. In the wee hours of the morning, he starts to pick his nose if he feels like he has a booger. And his nose starts to pour blood. Then, he screams "blood, mommy, blood"! It has happened 4 or 5 times now. I need to take a picture next time because it looks like a murder scene, blood everywhere and just what you want to do at 6am! Now, we are putting Vaseline in his nose at night to keep it from drying out.
Sloan is also now rolling over both ways a lot! She is still not sitting up without support yet but we are working on it.

Bored with the pool, he decided to sit in the middle of the yard and play



Happy Easter!
