Crawling and Climbing!

Here's Tanner now 7 months old. He has now mastered the army crawl and is getting pretty good with normal crawling.
He is also climbing on anything he can grab... legs, couches, toys, exercise bikes, and unfortunately his crib. So now when he's in his crib, he climbs up until he's standing and chews on the wood.
So lately I am really trying to get him on a sleeping schedule. It seems to be making things worse. I've tried this before and it just makes me more frustrated with my unabilities to get him to be a good sleeper and Tanner also gets more cranky. We've made a little progress since now he's sometimes taking naps in his crib instead of never. Usually I have to hold him for his naps or he won't take them at all. So I guess it's a start. Hopefully he continues to get better.


I read a really good quote the other day that actually was perfect timing for me since I was having an overwhelming day:
"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." – Franklin D. Roosevelt

.... so I guess I'm hanging on now :o)
