finally!

Toby fell asleep in his crib tonight for the first time ever! So far we have to get him to sleep first through a combination of bath, story, bottle, and lullabies. Heaven forbid if he should wake up as we're gently placing him in the crib (aka prison). I tried last night, and he screamed and bawled until I relented and put him on our bed - where he fell asleep within seconds. But tonight - success! We did the bath routine, and then I popped him right in the crib and stuck a bottle in his mouth. I hung over the side reading him a story while he got sleepier and sleepier, and then finally his eyes stayed closed. Yay! I think we'll have to change the routine to bottle in the crib, not before!

Anthony went home to Kitale tonight - he starts a month of unpaid leave tomorrow while he is doing a co-op in the social work department of a nearby hospital. But since we went to my home for Christmas, and he's so freakin' busy with work, school, and truck, he hasn't been home since last September. Neither have I, for that matter - but I really don't want to take one of those up-country buses with the baby, and we never seem to have enough time to drive there together. Hopefully we can all go in April when the kids are off school for a month...

Anthony will be back by Wednesday so I can go to Yei again until Saturday. And then I really must get a new passport, so no travel for 3 weeks!

I've posted more photos, check 'em out!
