jack continues to love, love, love his jumper...in this pic he is wearing a new sailor hat courtesy of grandma--of course you can also still see the tags!?
jack has been going to bed around 7:30-8pm for the past four nights, and with minimal crying or protest. i'm actually afraid to say it out loud!? unfortunately, he has been waking 3-4 times each of these nights as well, almost every 2 hours!? i feel like i have a newborn again. with that being said, he had his first breakfast this morning--i'm hoping if i fill him up he'll wake less. we had some oatmeal, and he was a lot more calm while eating in the morning as opposed to in the evening! of course, he ate all of it:) i'm pretty sure this kid has yet to turn down a meal!!
finally, i think the waking has a lot to do with the "4 month wakeful period," which occurs because they have become so interested in the world around them that they're highly distracted while they eat during the day and then try to make up for it during the night. it also means that when they learn a new thing they like to practice it over and over again. i can attest to this
because his newest "thing" is blowing raspberries--thanks uncle greg for showing him how?!--and the other night he was up from 3:30-4:30 to eat and then "practice" his raspberries. he was just in the crib babbling and blowing raspberries for at least a 1/2 hour?! i'll catch this on video because it's pretty funny!
let's hope that when he turns 5 months in 2 weeks the wakefullness magically disappears-ha!?
