DS woke at 4ish to happily babble to himself until 430 when he wasn't happy anymore. DH offered to get up and see if he'd go back to sleep without nursing. Yay! Turns out he wouldn't. Boo.
DS slept in this morning as in 6 instead of 5 or 530. He was up for an hour at 1 wanting to play and roll around. DH was a bit annoyed at the noise and thinking that it'd be quieter if DS did move rooms, but I pointed out that we'd still hear him over the monitor. I told him I'd get him earplugs because I'm happy to sleep until DS cries. DH hasn't been sleeping as well now that I've abandoned nursing in the living room for nursing in bed, so that's part of it.

Ugh! E went to bed at 8, was up at 940, 1050, 1150, 1, 330, 410 and 610. Ate at 1 and 410 (and the 410 one might be more because I knew it would get him to sleep fast since I had just gotten back to sleep myself) but the other times after midnight he would only go back to sleep while being held. (Before midnight DH was able to rub his back and get him down). Good thing I don't have to work today but I do tomorrow :-( Sleep training needs to happen! (I just don't know if I can take the crying) Unfortunately both DH and I are in a wedding this weekend so DS is staying overnight with family sat night and I was reading you should wait until there's nothing going on to do it. I dont even care about STTN, I just want a couple good 3/4 hr chunks. I want sleep :-( hopefully last night was a fluke because of a stuffy nose.

Oh and thank you ladies for the T & Ps for my family right now during this very tough time after my brothers passing, it is hard to hard to watch my mom try to get through the days.

I missed your original post. I'm very sorry for your loss!
I had a restless sleeper last night, too. He never kept it up long enough to go in to him, but enough to make the monitor go off. He moved all over the crib, and cried out every time. Hopefully he'll nap well for my mom today. I'd like a nap also...

Why is it so damn hot and humid out?! The past two weeks have been like the dead of summer. The air has been so humid and thick it has been tough to fit in walks
Business is still boomin, so I got that going on for me.
My sisters birthday is Friday (yes, worst birthday ever 9/11) and I'm taking dd to see her tomorrow. Of course--it's going to pour rain all day tomorrow!
Good day. I was clearly a bit daffy yesterday when it came to my trip to the grocery store and cooking dinner and we ended up having kraft Mac n cheese and salvaging some of the toasted zucchini lol but I am heading back to the store today and trying again. Oopsie. I might walk to the store since we don't need much and walking is good for you. We shall see how lazy I am.
I'm getting less sleep now that we are night weaning than I was when I was doing motn feeds. LO is waking more frequently, not that she stays up for more than a minute but enough to wake me. She woke last night at 4, 5 and 6 but still slept until after 7. Luckily she wasn't very loud about it so she didn't wake DD1.
greenpony33 - I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm thinking of and praying for you and your family.
aggiebug - I love being able to walk to the store. It's nice to get some walking in for everyday things.
Add one more to the wakeful night. This was partly because of work and partly because of baby. Got home from work at 1230am. Fell asleep by 130am and then up with the baby at 415. It took a lot to get her back down. I think we are going to do some sleep training soon because it is clear she is tired but just having trouble getting back to sleep. Vacation really messed with the sleep too. Fingers crossed for good naps today.
We have swim class at the YMCA this afternoon and then getting together with a friend and her kiddos.

Hugs momma. The transition is usually worse, but the end result is generally worth it. That actually sounds like DD. She still wakes at around 5,talks to herself and falls back asleep and repeats at 6 (sometimes adding in a 4am). I am better at sleeping through it now.
We are back from vacation, yay. It was so fun but LO got way off schedule so am working on getting him back on track. I have to go catch up on the threads I missed while off the grid. In the past couple of days, LO has become super mobile--not exactly "crawling" but definitely getting around and into things and going from all fours to sitting and back to all fours. Aah! Slow down, little guy!

greenpony33 so sorry for your loss. T&Ps for your family.
I've been lurking for a couple of days now. S and I had our colds pop back up. We seem to be on the up and up again. Nothing big planned here today, just grocery shopping and folding laundry.

greenpony33 sorry about your loss, thinking of you today.
Not much going on, busy day at work today. I am over the heat, football is back, pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin beers are back, now bring on the fall weather, please!
Sorry for all the restless babies and tired mommas!
johanna sounds like a fun afternoon! Reminds me I meant to look into fall/winter swim classes with DS. Hoping the university does them since they have an indoor pool. @holachica sleep when the baby sleeps; grade when the baby grades? Haha. cginge yay for back from vacation! Glad y'all had a good time! hollydfromtn glad y'all are feeling better
Today is the day I need to finalize some fantasy football decisions.
I also have a question: when do you think I could start those baby puffs? It says crawling and DD2 is not there yet but she feeds herself her bottle so I think she'd be able to stick these in her mouth. What say you F15? Have you started these?
I was supposed to give a brief presentation to the exec team on my training this morning at 10. I walked in and no one was there. I emailed the person who originally emailed me and haven't heard back yet. :/
I reintroduced peanuts into my diet yesterday and so far no reaction in LO, whew. Waiting 'til 9 months (at the earliest) to try dairy/soy with him, but I'm glad to have peanut butter back in my life!!
dreemkin, I bought those puffs and tried one myself. To me, they seemed to not dissolve super quickly and my LO has only had purees so I am waiting a little longer before I let him have them.
