Today we had to separate Emmy from his siblings, to keep him from waking them up, as he was the only one awake. We put him on the mat on the floor with some toys, but then you have to watch him constantly, of course, as everything off the mat is more interesting than the toys.

Today we went to Ikea to look at kitchens. It was a long trip to get there - two subways and a bus. Tammy had already slept at home, but the boys slept in the stroller. We ended up making an appointment for someone to come measure the kitchen, which you have to pay, of course. They gave us one for next week Wednesday.

Happy 9-month birthday! Time flies! Last night it was only Sammy who needed feeding during the night. Sometimes it's really tough, when I have just fallen asleep, to get back back up at 2 or 3 am to feed him, and sometimes also Emmy. Oh for the days when you could sleep through a night and as long as you wanted into the morning! They'll probably never come back, at least not in the next 10 to 15 years!
