Just a Jumpin'

I put Trent in the Johnny Jumper that we got from Dena to see what he'd do since he LOVES to stand. He wasn't quite sure what was going on, but he jumped around for about 20 minutes before getting fussy, so I think this is going to be another favorite of his. It is really fun to watch him get older and be able to play with more of his toys that have just been collecting dust!

Advice PLEASE!

Trent (and I) need some advice. He is having trouble staying asleep once put down in his crib for naps and nighttime. It's gotten so rough that he's back in his swaddle so he at least gets good sleep at night. Any moms out there have advice for me? What happens you ask? I get him to fall asleep (which is sometimes a battle in itself) and go to lay him in his crib. He either startles with his eyes POPPING open...followed by a wail OR he sleeps for just 30 minutes (his naps used to be about an hour with 1 longer nap) which results in an overly tired baby by the end of the day. I'm really working to have him napping and sleeping in the same place as he becomes more aware of his surroundings, but I don't know if it's better to have him get good sleep (meaning he might nap on our bed while I watch Ellen - sidebar - I LOVE Ellen) or sleep in his crib?!? HELP!!
