swinging at the park
the weather is a little confused this week. clouds in the sky, but warm air. we don't mind. the week has been off to a good start. tantrums are few, hitting and pinching are almost non-existent thank goodness. just two happy boys, which always makes a happy mama. in case anyone was wondering about the swaddle-it went- for about 6 hours (lucas waking up about every hour or so) so at 12:30 sunday night when I went in to nurse him I caved, and I put it back on-he slept till 5, nursed, and drifted off to swaddle sleep again till 7:30 (and we were able to get some decent shut eye. (i was just wide-eyed awake from 10:30-12 and it felt like he was waking up a ton!) dave wants to keep trying-so we'll try again....in the meantime I called Wombie and talked to someone. I asked them if they could customize a swaddle for me, one that was a little bigger 25-30lbs. sweet girls said they don't customize but asked for his measurements...turns out they have XLong swaddles on clearance-sooo.....I got another one. Which obviously doesn't solve the problem of getting lucas out of the swaddle-but it does buy us some more great sleep time! Obviously I can't deal- i'm working on it. Last night in his swaddle-he only woke up at 10 and 3 in the 13 hours of nighttime sleep- and i'm just saying why mess up a good sleep thing? I just can't go there right now- so we'll try again soon, really soon. He's not rolling over in his swaddle-so we've got time still. i'm obviously suffering from swaddle withdrawls, do they have classes for this? this letting go thing?! i.need.help. seriously.
oh how i heart you wombie swaddle! you have made our lives all the better in the land of nod.
and one of my favorite authors, jodi picolt, has out a new book, which i have been waiting to read, we went to the library yesterday and there it was, all bright and shiny on the shelf!
can't wait to start reading it! she usually writes about controversial issues and then gives you several points of views through the main characters. i love it, when i lived in la i read all of her books! she wrote my sister's keeper which is now a movie. I actually don't even know what this one is about yet...but if she wrote it, i know it'll be a good read :) .
toddler fashion in true form.
chunky baby arms and hands. love.
Happy Tuesday :)
does he need the swaddle to keep his arms still or is it for his legs? maybe you can put him in it but let his arms be loose
ReplyDeletelove the fashion statement of a springtime toddler.
he likes it for his arms...but it converts to let the arms out...so we can open it up and let him kind of find his way out of it naturally...he still keeps them snug in there even when we do it though...we'll keep trying
