Well, yesterday was a day worth noting!!!!
My son….my baby – I’ve moaned about the fact that he doesn’t sleep during the day. Being just totally honest he’s not been the most amazing night time sleeper either, but he does go to bed around 7:30pm and pretty much stays mostly asleep until 6:30am the next morning. He might wake up once or twice (or three of four or five times), but he just wants to cuddle and nurse and is really not even awake!
I’ve been incredibly frustrated at the fact that this sweet boy of mine naps for 10 minutes at a time. Pretty much rendering my day, useless. He is slowly starting to play with toys a bit and can either be entertained by the kids or entertain himself for short periods of time, but for the most part…he wants to be held.
Just recently, I’ve tried putting him to sleep in strollers and reclined high chairs and while I might squeak out a 20-25 minute nap, which is nicer than a 10 minute nap but it’s not been a life altering as I’d hoped for. He’s cute though, isn’t he? He’s such a big boy!
I love that he wants me and at the same time – there is SO MUCH GOING ON AROUND HERE! And I often feel incredibly frustrated at all that I’m not able to accomplish. Today, we had some family photographs taken by Tania from Red Handed Photography. I’ll share more about that in a bit, but basically Judah fell asleep as soon as we put him the car seat and then woke up 10-15 minutes later after we parked the car. That was his morning nap….awesome eh? As least he didn’t wake up grouchy – that would have awesome, no?
I really wasn’t sure what he was going to do for the rest of the day sleep wise and he was pretty cranky. I tried twice to put him down and nope – he wasn’t having any of that business. Finally, at 3pm Jon just walked with him for about 10 minutes and BAM! He was out. Jon put him in his crib and the little darling slept…
HE SLEPT FOR AN HOUR!
I got SO MUCH DONE! It was amazing! Jon took the other boys to the park, Xani had gone swimming with a friend and Geli was visiting my mom….so it was just me trying to plow through as much house crap as possible before everyone came back…
It is so nice to feel like you’ve accomplished something. It’s a lovely feeling!
And now I must go and attempt to accomplish more….so I shall leave you with just a quick video.
Judah wants to tell you something!
Ah, he is so cute….. that could also be a da da couldn’t it? except he is waving bye bye…. love ya”
bye bye Judah! <3 too cute! 🙂
Love it Patti Thanks for sharing with us . Hope Geli is having a good day Love Grandma
