Stayed up too late trying to get packing done. Need to finish everything tonight so that we can get to bed early for our 3 a.m. wake up call.

Snuggled up in the couch with S asleep on my chest. It doesn't get much better than this, except maybe if I was able to nap with him. His best nap of the day is always his first one and I can rarely fall back asleep so soon after waking up. I think we're about to cross over the teething hump soon. I can see a thin white line just under the gums on the top. I haven't been able to get a good enough look at the bottom yet. I'm ready for a break in this teething business for a while.

I'm here trying to get lesson plans together for my sub next week. So far I've drank a Mello Yello and eaten a Little Debbie. I don't think I'm doing this right. Usually my subs just put in a video, but I have a music person coming so she can actually teach them something. I need to get on it.

In other news, my sweet baby hasn't been letting me rock him to sleep. Usually it's a bottle and rocking while I sing until he falls asleep. Now he's squirming and stretching and trying to fall headfirst out of the recliner, so I've been sitting him in the crib and letting him wiggle himself to sleep. It's probably for the best but I'm missing the snuggles.

Also, anyone else tried the paper ripping thing with your baby?

I got a wide-eyed, horrified reaction. You?

[lilyelayne]

What a night. DS woke up around midnight and didn't put himself to sleep, so I went in and nursed him. When he was done I put him down in the crib and he pitched a fit. He ended up being awake for nearly 2 hours, but thankfully DH eventually got him settled to play in his crib while we went back to bed.

kaydee0402 that sleep infographic is the absolute best.
danitaec I tried when someone mentioned it on here months ago, like maybe 5 months ago? DS has torn pages in a book & notebook on accident without that reaction.

bad moms = giving bottle in crib and not stopping wubbanub (he barely uses).

but... we get a little sleep...

[kaydee0402]

lilyelayne, thanks! I saw it on Facebook this morning and realized how accurate it is

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

where can i find that pic bigger- it's hard to read

[kaydee0402]

2mrsks (mrs&mrsk), I found it on Facebook. Not sure how to make it bigger....

[dreemkin]

Ugh, I've eaten so much this vacation and now we're going to the state fair. Heaven help me!

Please don't cook me today, Sun. This Midwesterner is not used to the desert.

I'm sitting in my car waiting for DD to wake up before I take her in to visit my grandma. We've had horrible sleep since Friday. Not sure if it's her cold or sleep regression or a combination. But my goodness I'm exhausted! I'm finally going to stop and get a humidifier today so hopefully that will help DDs cough. Have a good day girls!

[kerrigrooves]

in the same boat. LO is teething, has a cold and woke at mignight last night. Rocked him back but Im exhausted, 4th night in a row where's he up at some point unhappy. Gave Tylenol the last three nights.

tortor4 we've been using a humidifier for the last two weeks and it seems to help. LO has had a cough for 5 weeks and Dr said we have to ride it out since there's no fever.

[tortor4]

kerrigrooves love tit for the humidifier helping, not for LO's poor sleep. Five weeks?! Poor baby. I hope LO gets over that cough soon. DD breaks my heart when she coughs at night because she'll cough then do a sad little cry after each one.

Well it took 2 weeks. There was a lot of bitching and moaning. But consistency was the key. I have now been sleep trained by LO to wake at 5:20. To LO I say touché.

Flu shot for DS today. Not looking forward to the after effects. He is just getting better from this ear infection.

Little Man's after effects weren't terrible.  He just wanted to nap after.  No fever spikes, no fussiness.  Just a lot of cuddles and naps.  FX it goes just as well for you!

I'm guessing the 8 month sleep regression is to thank for this. But after days and days of LO waking up at 5:20 I've now been programmed to that wake up time...and then can't get back to sleep. Boo!

i read this backwards. im sorry for your early wake up time! (i thought you were able to get LO on a set time LOL)

Ds is officially crawling (more than a few slides with his body up counts right)

So, I ordered a hat on Amazon, only to find it cheaper elsewhere. I just went to start a return with Amazon…and they're refunding me, but I don't have to return the item to them. So, I'm getting it free now? Uh, awesome! Guess I'll be returning the cheaper one I bought!

[mrsclark731]

2mrsks (mrs&mrsk), I've been MIA busy with work for a while so maybe I missed this being asked...but how are things? I haven't seen you around in a while

You don't have to return it? Really? When I've returned things to Amazon, they've instantly refunded my money but would've taken it back if I didn't return the item within 30 days.

DS can be barefoot for his baptism, right? Or plain white socks?

We put him in plain white socks. It seemed we should be more formal than barefoot, but weren't going to fool with shoes.

[cougarette]

Flipping through channels we came across Sideways. DH immediately opened a bottle of red for us to enjoy while watching it for the millionth time.

Nope! I was really confused when I started the return process and it said "There's no need to return your item. Your refund has been issued." I looked it up and apparently they'll do that if they feel the item value isn't worth them paying return shipping.

DD crawled across the room today! And placed toys back into a basket for the first time and gave me kisses. What a day! (then she screamed for over an hour at bed time.)
