Late Night Monkey

Friday night we went to Gigi’s and ate dinner and played games. Monks is always in bed by 8:30 at the latest but since we were all off the next day we stayed until 10 and he was still going strong. Most people will say don’t wind a baby up or play with it before bed so they have time to calm down but Monks loves being active and then he lays right down at bedtime. I swear he is just too perfect. J Anyway, we had all the cushions off of Gigi’s couch and her chair and we had them on the ground and he had so much fun being pushed into them, being tackled on them and just diving into them. He would dive and get right back up and go at it again. We all sat around in the living room just watching him and taking turns playing with him. I swear he did this for over an hour. It is scary to watch sometimes but I swear the rougher they are with him, they harder he laughs. He is definitely my little tough guy. He is so happy and I love that. On the way home he looked tired in his car seat and he was excited to see Apollo when we walked in but still went straight to bed. I was a little surprised he woke up at 8 the next morning, but he sure made up for it with his 4 hour nap during the day.
