Just teaching

First off, Jama is doing fine. There was no stroke. The whole incident was some sort of blood pressure drop related to medication she was taking. The doctors are working on the problem, and in the meantime she's back at home without long-lasting effects. Praise God!

Shane's developed a highly predictable routine. It's very nice being able to read and anticipate what he's going to ask before he asks it. He normally wakes up from a nap/bedtime, eats, plays his heart out, and then starts to get fussy when he gets tired. Then it's nap time. This lasts anywhere from 15-40 minutes with a long nap normally happening mid-day. He wakes up around 7 am every morning (on his own or from us needing to take him to day care) and then he falls asleep after eating his last meal some time after 8 PM (usually before 9 PM).  The fact that Shane sleeps through the night is incredible. He's very happy and just an all-around pleasant child. A first time parent couldn't ask for a better first child.

When awake, Shane has discovered rhythm and his mouth. The rhythm shows in how steady he can bounce from foot to foot. The discovery of his mouth shows in the shower of spit that the boy is constantly blowing bubbles of. He soaks his clothes! Sometimes, I mistake his spit bubbles as the sound of pooping or a loud fart. Just today, Carrie thought we had a goat stashed somewhere!  The boy is really growing nicely (over 16 lbs/double his birth weight before four months!)

I've managed to rediscover Oblivion for wasting what free time I have.  There's a German fan-mod called Nehrim I'm playing that totally reworked the game. It's amazing that someone managed something of this scope in their free time.
