Update

The Burnetts continue to plug along with our lives. Things are going well although I will admit I am tired today. Callum is doing better with his sleep but is still up at least once but normally twice between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. I've thought about trying to put him to bed later but honestly, his internal clock reads that bath time is at 7 and his bottle is at 7:30. When we deviate from this schedule, he gets really fussy. Hopefully he will eventually end up sleeping from 8 p.m to 6 or 7 a.m. but this will obviously come on his timeline- not ours. Each day he gets cuter. He has found his hands and also his feet. Pretty soon I think they will be in his mouth. Callum definitely knows Mommy and Daddy and responds accordingly- BIG SMILES. He is also starting to laugh. It tends to start as a shrill squeal. Callum has rolled over several times at home. He's not consistent with it because he actually did it for the first time almost a month ago. I figured it was a freak accident. It happened twice all at once and then he didn't do it again until last week. He can go both tummy to back and back to tummy, but it is random- only occurring occasionally. I imagine as he gets stronger it will happen more and more. Work for both Iain and I has been going fine. The calm before the storm is occurring in my office- new student move in is Thursday. The university goes from having about 500 people at one time to about 8000 people which is insane. To all of you Shippensburg locals- watch out for traffic on Thursday and avoid King St. if you want to get anywhere on time.

Good luck with the start of the semester. Sounds like Eli and Callum have some things in common...at almost 6 months, Eli is still up once during the night for a snack! Oh, well!
