Baby Gabe

Baby Gabe has taken this crawling business to a whole new level, and it’s driving both him and his parents to exhaustion.  Lately, he’s been sleepcrawling.  We would wake up to him whimpering and find him on his stomach with his head up against the bumper at the top of his crib.  He’s crying because he can’t go any farther.  The craziest thing is that he’s still asleep and doesn’t wake up until we turn him over and move him back down to the middle of the crib.  Last night, he figured 3:30 AM was as good a time as any to get back to crawling.   His poor mom had to put him on the mat as he rolled and crawled around for a good 30 minutes before he got it out of his system and could fall back asleep.  She thinks this is karma.  When Baby Gabe’s mom was a baby, she would wake up and want to play at 3 or 4 AM, and it drove her mom nuts.
