Zoe on call today, New Years Eve. Had a really good day with Enzo. Had three solids meals and two 90 minutes naps, and then went to sleep without much trouble. Pretty much in a great mood all day.

We mostly hung out at the house today, playing with toys and dogs. Read a lot of books, watched some football, and played in both swings. Our big event of the day was a long walk down to the stables to watch the horses trot around and jump. Also a little gray cat there that Enzo couldn't stop looking at. Teething biscuit made the walk all the way home more fun.

After kind of a quiet day yesterday, Enzo was talking all day today — ba ba ba ba ba ba.

Bombed around Old Pas returning some presents, then over on Lake. Enzo was just so cute and happy all day — clapping and laughing and eating everything in sight.

I put him to sleep with no problem. He's kind of restless right now, rolling around a lot. He woke up last night at 2:30 and cried for about 30 seconds before putting himself back to sleep. Hope he sleeps soundly tonight.

Zoe went to the valley to Deb's party and to pick up dinner while I put Enzo to sleep. I'm not as good at that as I used to be, but he finally gave up and fell asleep after one failed attempt.

Family outing for sushi tonight to our favorite family place, Matsuri. Enzo ate a lot of food - tofu, gyoza, tuna, potato dumpling thing and some carrots. The waitresses were amazed. They came out to look at him, "he's eating gyoza too", "big eyes", "so cute".

Really sweet bug tonight, rolling around after his bath, and playing catch. Zoe put him down with no problem. Another long night of sleep ahead.

Enzo to bed a little late today. He woke up when we put him down for the night, and I couldn't get him back to sleep. Zoe took over after he was up for a bit, and was able to put him to sleep after hanging out with him for about an hour.

I was off today, but had the nanny come so I could get some work done around the house. Other than cleaning the garage and the gutters, my big accomplishment for the day was finally getting Enzo's swing set up on a tree branch in the backyard. He loves it. I can sit next to him and throw the ball for the dogs, giving him an occasional push.

Sent the nanny home about 3:30PM and hung out with the man for the rest of the afternoon. Zoe got home a little early and cooked meatballs for Enzo. He loved them. Went to sleep right at 8:PM and not a peep since.

Enzo opened the few remaining gifts that we didn't already open. Got some good pictures of him eating wrapping paper, and playing with big rabbit from Mimi.

No special plans today, just hanging around. Walk later. Sylvia and Jeff coming over for dinner tonight.

Enzo was super cranky this morning, which made me nervous knowing I had him all day. Driving across town to pick up a Yule Log didn't help. Major meltdown. When we got home, I tried to put him down for a nap, but he cried when I put him in the crib. After several attempts, I let him sleep on my chest. And he slept for 2.5 hours, while I watched football with no sound.

Then we went out to Bristol Farm, another meltdown, and another nap on my chest. For another 90 minutes. I think wiped out from no sleep yesterday. Great dinner at 5:30 of beans, potatoes, and some winter squash.

Enzo only got about 50 minutes of sleep all day today, which is typical on the weekends. We can never seem to get him a proper nap on the weekends.

Enzo crawling around a lot now. Also started clapping a day or two ago. His favorite new toy is the Beach Band thing. A little tough to put to sleep tonight, woke up after just a minute or two.

One of his favorite things to do now is stand on the bed while holding on to the head rest, and biting the metal bars. Then he likes to just let go and fall on to the pillows.
