Logan has decided that since he’s such an easy baby during the day, he should get his share of our attention at night. Thankfully not the sleeping time of night, but he’s found his witching hours between 6pm and midnight. He doesn’t cry constantly (and for that I’m SO grateful), but he’s just unsettled. He’ll act like he wants to sleep, but he fights it. He seems like he wants his paci, but nope. Maybe he’s hungry? Well, he’ll always eat, but it doesn’t help. He has to be held, but he’s not a huge fan of swaying, bouncing, or rocking yet.
I realize that this is the best time of day for him to be fussy because at least he’s the only child awake and it’s not causing us to lose any extra sleep, but it makes eating dinner and getting anything done very tricky.
That is until last night. Last night I decided to walk around the house with him and he passed out! I was scared to put him down, so I just sat and held him while he slept, but even that was so much better than trying to solve his fussiness. Tonight I tried again and was able to put him down for a tummy nap for 2 1/2 hours!! Doug and I ate dinner at the same time!!!! Hopefully this will work for at least a week before he changes his mind.
And can I just mention the irony that the baby who was on bed rest with me for 4 months is soothed by walking…more proof that we both hated bed rest. 😉
I like the new blog design! I know the feeling of not eating a peaceful dinner. I felt like I sat with one foot on the bouncer during supper for the first 3 months of Eli’s life!
