Bedtime

routine

I think we'll fare better tonight... he didn't take as many naps today. Yet he still seemed fairly content throughout the day. There were quite a few moments where he was OK just hanging out by himself.

We've been trying out a nightly routine (bath, story) for him to get him to get used to going to sleep at night. It's been working really well - the tough part is making sure he sleeps through. But I guess we shouldn't expect much yet, he's too young at this stage to go without food throughout the night.

He does enjoy baths though and actually starts to cry once we try to move him out of his tub.

PS: Thanks to Margie and Shane for the bathtub :).

aftermath

I started building this blog at around midnight and I still haven't gone to bed. Why? One, I got caught up on reminiscing and two, it's really pointless to try to sleep tonight. Since the baby took a looong 4 hour nap (and he was actually napping all morning too), he hasn't slept through at all tonight. He's been waking up every 30 minutes or so, crying sometimes for food, diaper changes, but mainly for attention (he really dislikes sleeping alone - since he's gotten used to sleeping with us for the past 8 weeks.)

I knew we were going to have to pay for this evening's peace and quiet...
