I lost Wyatt today. I put him on his mat of blankets in the living room floor and walked into the laundry room to get a load out of the dryer. I almost had a heart attack when I walked around the corner and saw that his little body was no longer where I had left it. As I quickly walked through the living room to begin my panicked search, I heard him squeal. He was behind the couch (shouldn’t I have known!?). Somehow, he managed to roll himself through the living room and around the side of the couch. Shooooooeeeeeee; That was scary for a second!
Yes, little I.Y. (as Cady calls him) is rolling all over the place. Every time he conquers a new motor skill, he gets even more excited (and I do too!). He can sit up for a few seconds now. He is pulling his legs up under him some, which is sort of odd because he doesn’t have the stiff arm part down yet. We’ll get there I know we will. It’s just all so exciting!
Did I tell you that we made the BIG MOVE? Yes, little W now sleeps in his own room now. We were going to move him out of his bassinet, which lives in our room right beside our bed, when he turned 3 months old, but he still seemed SO LITTLE! Then he started eating 2 times at night and that seemed like a lot of times to have to walk across the house in the middle of the night. Then I got really lazy and learned how to nurse while lying on my side so that I could sleep more. Then we were going to wait until our friends from NJ came so that we could let one of them sleep in that room. Then W and I were going out of town so there was no point in going through all the trouble and missing out on those precious hours of sleep. So Sunday night when I got back from my trip, I decided that there have been enough of “then” and it was time to do the deal. To my surprise he only woke up once that night, and then only once every night for almost a week. Then Saturday something went terribly WRONG. Little I.Y. decided that he would not like to sleep in his room anymore… 5 times he woke up that night, and Sunday night, and then he woke up every 30 minutes from 11:00 pm until 2 am this morning night. I fed him and then he proceeded to scream until 2:45. Then he was up again to eat at 5, 6:30 and 8. It also did not help that Cady has not been sleeping well either. Is it the moon? (people are always blaming this sort of thing on the moon) Hopefully, whatever it is has now left the building, because this momma is running a little low on sleep!
Ahhh...man. I didn't know y'all made the big move!! Jaxon cried alot too. He would wake up 2 or 3 times a night when he was like 5 months old still. :) I can't really remember what we did, but I think I figured out he wasn't going to hurt himself crying, so I would just turn the monitor down and go in once to feed him. But that wasn't until 5 months. He is just recently sleeping all night.
ReplyDeleteYou don't look like you've missed your sleep!! Glad y'all came the other night!!
