For those who have asked...nope North still isn't sleeping. He's eating like a champ (this week we tried potatoes in addition to rice cereal which he really seems to love--all smiles and gobbles them up so sweetly) but still no sleeping more than 2 hours in 1 stretch (with the norm being more like 1). Any suggestions? We've tried all we've heard--in his own room, in our room, in a crib next to our bed, co-sleeping, letting him cry, in a dark room, in a light room, with every possible sound effect imaginable going (white noise, mother heartbeat machine, music, etc), swaddled, not swaddled, in a warmer than usual room, in a cooler than usual room, with a fan on, without a fan on, with a humidifier (both warm and cool mist have been given a go), without a humidifier....eesh. Nothing has worked so far. Any other ideas?
Fairly certain he knows exactly how the video monitor works--this is a picture of the display in our room with him staring right into the camera in his crib--he does this often. It's like he's trying to watch us back or at least let us know that he knows he's being watched.
New toy!
Dog strategy for extracting toy from baby--wait until he falls over then lick him like crazy until Alan and I shoo her away.

Ender bonded true doggy style with lots and lots of triceratops butt sniffing.
Also, North started sitting up fully unsupported the Monday before Halloween (he'd been propping himself up on his hands before that for a while). Here he is sitting with Coco.
Grandad arranged for a special ride for Connor (and Adam).
Sweet Madi, gave North a ride on "the gator".
And North tried to give her one too (Alan helped a bit).
