Sunday naps

Sundays are hard for us because Ethan's usual nap time starts only about 30 min before we leave for church at 12:45. Sometimes we try to put him down early, but normally he isn't tired enough and can't fall asleep. So, no nap. Ethan normally handles Sacrament pretty well and in nursery he does great, but shortly after we get home he crashes. It is hard because this inevitable pushes back bed time and I know he doesn't get a sufficient rest. The upside of it is that Trent and I then get to make and eat dinner together with no interruptions. It is kind of fun to remember what that is like! Here are some pics of Ethan sleeping on Sunday evenings.

He laid himself down on the couch and Trent propped him up so that he could watch us in the kitchen. 

A few minutes later...

He was bouncing off the walls when we got home this day and would NOT calm down. I made us a fruit smoothie to drink and put him in his high chair. Some people then came to the door, we talked and when I looked at Ethan I busted up laughing! I couldn't believe he had fallen asleep like this! Poor thing!

In other news, on August 21st, just two days before my 21 week mark, Trent was able to feel the baby kick! He seemed pretty excited. I think it helps make him realize a little more that we have a baby on the way. As a side note, when I was pregnant with Ethan I didn't feel him kick (or at least I didn't know that was what I was feeling) until around 22 weeks. It is amazing to me that it took me so long to realize it was a baby kicking then, when this time around Trent felt the baby kick a good week earlier!
