August 5: A Dark & Stormy Night

on August 12, 2008

While you can’t tell, I’m standing up!

I woke up three times overnight as the worst thunderstorm of my life rolled through Chicago.  Luckily all I needed was my pacifier to get back to bed, but between my waking up and the risk for storm damage, Dad definitely didn’t get much sleep.  I woke up for the morning around 6:00, but I was more than just hungry — you know it, I had a huge poop.  I ate and went back to bed until about 7:15, when Dad brought me downstairs and took off for his conference. 

Nana helped me do my exercises in the morning and then took me for a walk to the park.  After my first two feedings in the morning, which are still pretty close together, I’m definitely getting closer to about 3 hours between feedings (it helps that I’m getting 5.5 ounces per bottle these days!).  I took four naps today, only one of which lasted more than two hours.

Dad got back from his conference and went to work down in the office.  At around 7:15, he strapped me into the Baby Bojorn and took me for a walk (designed, I think, to distract me until bedtime).  We walked “the triangle” — Damen to Milwaukee to Division.  As soon as we got back, Dad got my bottle ready (thanks, Mom, for the milk you left me!) and put me to bed.

It’s my crawl pose…
