I woke up much earlier than usual last night – around 2:30. I had a quick bottle with Dad and then fell asleep until 6:30. I had breakfast with Mom and then slept until 9:00. Not to bad to get almost 12 hours of sleep with just a couple quick feedings. I fussed and played and napped pretty much all day. I know, hard to believe I live such an exciting day. The big excitement was that Dad and I danced for almost an hour to an eclectic collection of songs from albums starting with the letter ‘A’ (e.g. Achtung Baby, Ah We Nos, and Alterno-Daze).
There are few things I thought I’d share with everyone today:
– I’ve got another poop issue. It’s been over seven weeks until my last poop debacle – one that ended up requiring a call to my pediatrician. Well, I haven’t pooped in the last three days. My belly is so huge, both because I’m eating a ton and keeping it all in. Mom’s starting to get worried. I have a feeling the doctor’s going to get a call tomorrow!
– I’ve made progress toward a couple big milestones today and in the last day or two. First, I’ve learned how to fall asleep on my own and done it twice (not in a row, but hey)! I’ve blogged about the many times that (mostly) Dad brazenly put be in my bassinet before I had falled sound asleep. As soon as he would put me down, I’d wake up and start crying. Yeah, it still helps if Mom or Dad helps me calm down a bit first, but I have proven I can definitely do half the job on my own.
– There have also been a few times when Mom or Dad has put me down on my activity mat while I was screaming my lungs out and I’ve managed to stop crying and start amuse myself with the various shiny noisy objects in my gym.
– Fellow babies beware: my mom has a trick to calm me down that almost always works! No matter how loudly I am fussing, if Mom turns on the running water (I prefer the kitchen sink or the shower, but the bathroom sink is ok, too), I almost always quiet down right away. I also usually succumb to an elevator ride (or when I was in Chicago, walking up and down the stairs).
I fell asleep a little after 10.
