Jack's nights of 10-12 hours and 2 hour naps were history. I'm hoping they are gradually coming back. Each day was a struggle to get the little guy down for a nap, and he was usually up within 30min-1hr. Night time wasn't that much fun either. Jack decided his new bedtime was 11 rather than 8. Early in the week, he was waking up a few times to eat in the middle of the night, which hasn't really done since has about 6 weeks old. The last few nights, he's only done it once and last night he slept all night and most of this morning. Fingers crossed we are back to our old schedule, or something close. I'm blaming the teeth and tummy!
The teeth still aren't here. Fever has set in, tummy is all over the place, drool covers all my clothes right along with the spitup, but no stinking teeth! Poor little guy seems to be hating it just as much as we do. He constantly wants to nurse or chew on his fists. He will even chew/suck on our shoulders while holding him. Then he gets frustrated because it hurts to suck sometimes. Hopefully those teeth pop out soon. I think/hope this is what is causing these sleep disasters, but I've read it usually happens around 4 months, because they are so alert now and their sleeping patterns have changed. We shall see!
Jack went swimming for the first time last week. He was obviously exhausted with his new sleep schedule, but seemed to have a good time. It was short lived, but we will be back soon. We got him a new floatie for the pool that has a little canopy, so he won't get sunburned. He wasn't feeling well one night, so we put it in my big tub. He seemed to like it.
He has been much more alert these days. Constantly wiggling around and looking at everything in the room. His little eyes just never stop scanning the house. He will be obviously tired, and will still fight to keep his eyes open in case he misses out on something fun.
He's started to do the "razz" with his tongue and lips. All sorts of new sounds come each week. It sounds like he has the "ba" down pretty well. His hands are grabbing anything they possibly can. I rarely have my hair down :) And as soon as he grabs whatever it is, it's going in his mouth!
This weekend we will probably take Jack swimming again. Hopefully he will be better rested and have more fun.
Well have a great week!
Lots of love,
The Waags
