Naps and Nipples: June 25th&26th

June 25th- The Great Crib War of 2010

Oh today was the biggest battle of my life… the great crib war. Dominic has decided he no longer wants to sleep in his crib. We tried everything we could think of. Turn the mobile, turn off, turn radio on/off, put blanket under the pad to make it softer, lights on/off, with/without pacifier, with frog, with/without blankets… NOTHING worked. We fought and fought until nearly 6 am and finally from pure exhaustion he fell asleep and slept for about 5 hours. Both Mommy and Daddy were at their wits end. We have had tons of issues with him sleeping in the crib, he obviously doesn’t like it but what else are we suppose to do? Dominic isn’t a very good night sleeper (he gets it from his parents) when we say he sleeps for 5 hours that with several wake ups. As of late he has been waking at around 2am and again at 5:30 hungry. Poor baby doesn’t get very much uninterrupted sleep until the day time. We hope and pray he gets use to the crib and finally settles on sleeping there, and getting better sleep, and maybe we will get better sleep ourselves as well.

On a not so distressing note… well to Dominic its not, today Dominic pulled Mommy’s hair for the first time. When I was getting ready to put Dominic in the bath he grabbed a hold of my hair and wouldn’t let go, the funny part is I was just bragging about him not doing that. Teaches me a lesson, keep the bragging to myself haha.



June 26th- On the Go

While at Wal-Mart Dominic was having a great time playing in his car seat while Mommy and Daddy were eating at McDonald’s. As we were shopping he was still enjoying himself until we would stop moving. When we stopped to get something he would cry, but if we started moving again and kept moving he was happy. Dominic had us in and out of the store in about an hour and a half, that includes eating! No lollygagging with Dominic!!
Later in the evening while trying to get Dominic to sleep he wanted to be walked around. He would nod off as Mommy was walking all around the house, but when I sat down on the couch or tried to put him down, he would pop open his eyes and cry. That boy was on the move today and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
