Sleep is a precious commodity around here, and it's been spotty lately because of a lingering cough that just won't quit. We had gotten into a good nighttime rhythm with only one feeding in the middle, and then as the cough got worse that disintegrated. Here's what the last two nights looked like for us. Saturday: H to bed at 11:00, up twice before 12:30 coughing, and up every 30-45 minutes after that. He would eat a tiny bit, fall back asleep, and then cough himself awake. Sunday: H to bed at 10:30, made a noise around 2 but went back to sleep with a little tummy rub, slept until 7. Completely surpassed his previous 5.5-hour sleeping record. |
Other notes: we weighed him yesterday, and he's at 17 lbs! Wow, Hendrik! I think a good part of that new weight went to his cheeks and multiple chins. You can also see his belly in the photo. And one thing I'd like to do this summer is shift H's schedule earlier... it has just worked beautifully for us to have him sleep when we do and then a good part of the morning at daycare. We'll see how it goes. So happy to be done with school and have nine weeks home with him!
