Crabby Rudy

Tuesday night we had our baptism class. Apparently, before Rudy can be baptized, we have to go to a class at the church. We had no idea about it until we went to schedule his baptism. The class is only offered every few months. Had I been on top of things we would have gone to it while I was pregnant! But we weren't the only late ones. About half the class had babies already. What they didn't have, though, was screaming, crying babies. He was being crabby, like clockwork the past several nights, starting ab 6:00. He didn't have one of his melt downs (I consider a melt down when even eating doesn't do the trick), but he did eat at 5:30, 6:30, and 7:45 (which he would have prefered about 7:20). Needless to say Rudy and I didn't last very long in the class. I told him he was taking after his dad, yet again...not liking church or class, especially together!

We have been working on strengthening Rudy's neck muscles with regular tummy time. He's getting better and better at keeping his head up. He hasn't figured out how to use his arms to help so we use a little pillow under his chest to help him out there. Tummy time is pretty funny. He likes it at first, but once it gets hard for him (and it's an obvious workout for the little man, the way he works and struggles), he gets angry and tummy time comes to a quick end.
