He is getting a hang of the napping thing. And as long as I can stay on the front end of the grumpiness, I can get him down pretty fast. Much like Caden, he likes to have a little blanket or piece of cloth (sometimes my shirt) to hang on to while he is going down. And a pacifier - sigh. He was sleeping through the night pretty good, until I came down with this TERRIBLE stomach bug that knocked me out for 4 days and really hurt my milk supply. We've fought hard to come back from that illness, and have done remarkably well, given the situation, BUT, he is still getting up twice a night. Ugh! I am waiting for 6 months before starting him on any solids. That was the protocol that we used with Caden and it worked really nice, so I don't want to change that, even though I bet a little sustenance would help him sleep better. He can roll tummy to back like a champ. He is ALMOST rolling back to tummy. He will roll up on his side and kick and squirm, he is about 90% there!!! He's definitely enjoying his feet these days! He'll play with a few toys, especially those that are fun to chew/suck on.
Brad and I left him with my Mom AND a neighbor for the first extended time (long story, but Mom got in a car wreck and couldn't pick-up the kids, she shouldn't have even traveled up here, but she did...). We went to see a traveling Broadway for Brad's birthday. Everything was fine when we left, but when we got home and realized that the neighbor was still there and the baby was still awake, we knew things must not have gone as planned... And it didn't... He had received a few bottles from me, leading up to this event, but I guess he wasn't really up for receiving a bottle from someone else. Poor kid screamed for 1.5 hours!!!! Geez! I feel sorry for all parties involved!!! As soon as we walked in, he calmed down on my shoulder and guzzled a 6 ounce bottle... he was STARVING!!!
I LOVE his smiles and to make him laugh!!!
