Naps and Nipples: July 18th

July 18th- One Playful Baby

Dominic slept 8 hours today!! He woke up at 4 because he was cold. He lifts his legs and the blanket ends up around his belly so he usually wakes up once needed to be recovered. He went back to sleep and didn’t wake up until 7. He had a bottle and went right back to sleep. At 8 this morning Mommy got woke up by squealing sounds. Dominic was wide awake playing in his crib. I came in, turned on his mobile, and sat down in the rocking chair next to the crib. Dominic squealed, and hollered, pulled his legs in the air, talked to the mobile animals, and giggled for nearly an hour and a half. I waited to see if he would put himself back to sleep but he just wasn’t able to, so Mommy picked up her sleepy fussy baby. After rocking him to sleep I myself went back to sleep at about 10. Daddy woke up at 11 when Dominic decided he was hungry again and without Mommy knowing got up and feed Dominic. He also took care of him until Mommy woke up from some much needed sleep.

Tonight during Dominic night cereal time Mommy tried something new. Instead of putting the baby food in with the cereal I tried giving it to him alone. He loved it! He ate nearly ½ bottle of squash, then had 2 tablespoons of cereal and almost 4 ounces of formula. He must have been a hungry baby. Now the entire time Mommy was feeding Dominic he had his legs in the air with his hands holding on to his toes. He would drop a foot every now and again when he got tired and would lift it right back up. He is such a goofball today, even more than usual!!

Another goofy thing Dominic did today was during bath time. While bathing him, he had both hands in his mouth making the silliest sounds. If he didn’t have both hands he had a few fingers of one hand and the fist of the other. Dominic was such a playful boy today, and naturally a big ol mess!
