I was doing the same thing on the other side of my iphone but I'll spare you the image. I don't look so hot when I cry and I am afraid that I gave my red face when upset or exercising gene to Jude. I was really hoping, out of all of my traits, that that would be the one that he skipped over. Poor boy. I already know how he will cope when walking out of his high school gym class to catch the bus- head down, look at the floor, make eye contact with no one! I guess there could be worse things in life, but may I say that from experience, it's maybe one of the worst things. Especially when your spin class instructor singles you out (over the mic) and asks if you are okay. Hopefully Jude will make it through somehow.
So here is sweet baby Jude looking a little more chipper, staring at the ceiling fan. That fan, I tell you what, it delights him! I would like one in the bathroom thus making it easier for me to shower.
I am waiting somewhat patiently for this kid to take naps longer than 30 minutes during the day. So far, no luck. I know that he could do it if his sleep wasn't so freaking light. How do you speed up that milestone Dr. Google, huh? Every week I read about something that guarantees a sleeping baby, and by the end of every week we are both exhausted and in tears because nothing works.
3 woot-woots!:
Navy was the same---> until last week when she suddenly decided to sleep through the night!! Or rather, I fell asleep on the couch and Joe didn't bother to wake me up when she cried and somehow I slept throught it??!! So she cried it out. That was our solution. That was a miracle in itself. What I'm trying to say is....you're doing great. He sounds a bit colicky? Poor Jude and poor YOU!! I really don't have any words of advice other than it gets better....eventually. So reassuring right? Did those woobies help at all or did I just help you waste your money : (
Happy 2 Months Jude!!
I don't know anything (well not much anyway) about babies, but it would be cool to get some kind of star/light projector that moves/changes patterns while it shines on the ceiling & walls.
I'm not sure about bedtime, but it would be a good distraction for shower time at least. Then you'd probably have to shower in the dark, and who knows how productive that would really be.
This is just how our baby was. I had to wait until 5 months for him to finally take longer naps. NOTHING I did helped...but he finally figured it out on his own. I know how hard it can be, especially when they are sleepy and grumpy. Hang in there, you are doing a great job!
