CRAWLING!!! Baby Dawson is now cruising around the Monty House! SO far he hasn't really gotten in to anything! He likes to pull shoes from the shoe rack (so did Miles)and get into anything his brother and sister are in to!
He is a TON happier now that he isn't stuck in one place unable to join in on the fun. He is also pulling himself up on everything he can, which tells me he will WALKING soon too! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! My baby is growing up so fast...thank goodness I take lots of pictures!
Now if we could just get little D to sleep through the night we would be set. Last night I tried a little tough love and it didn't work too well. I set up the pack and play in our laundry level(next to our room)and when he woke up the first time I put him back to bed in there. He went back to sleep and I thought it might have done the trick. NOPE...up an hour later. SO I rocked him BACK to sleep and then tried again. He woke up minutes later and I made sure he had his nuk and let him cry a bit. (10min)It is always soooooooooooo hard to do that but I had him rocked to sleep just moments before I knew that he was capiable of drifting back off to dreamland so I didn't feel so bad. He drifted in and out of crying and then his crying got louder and more...frantic. SO...I got up gave him 6 oz. and he went to sleep until 8am. So after an hour of horsing around he still got his bottle. So tell me...why wouldn't I just get up and give him a bottle in the first place? It takes all of 10 mins. that way and he is happy to go back to sleep afterwards. If it were that simple I wouldn't be complaining but there are times now where he loses his NUK and wakes for it. So now we are talking 2 to 3 times getting up with him. We can't just let him cry for the fact that he will wake MILES. Then I have two awake kids or at least one crabby one who doesn't nap until the afternoon!
And then to spice life up a little my "sleeper" Madalyn has been waking up before 7AM all this week. Luckily yesterday she was still nice and sweet but I am wondering what today will bring! Say a prayer that we all make it through today without too much drama! Thanks for listening...
P.S. I have video of the blessed event but don't know how to get it to the PC with Windows Vista! So if you want to see him in action you will have to get together with us! :)
