Oops posting fail on my part, I wrote this and didn't post. Oh well.
Elijah is 2 months old!!!
Likes:
Elijah loves having his diaper changed and getting dressed. His new thing is floor time, not tummy time, just hanging out on the floor and kicking.
Dislikes:
The verdict is still out about the Baby Bjorn. I tried to use it again last night, and he was pretty indifferent.
Elijah also started not liking bottles as much this month, which is fine because he is with me most of the time. Daniel put him to bed last night and he took a bottle, but he woke up and wanted to nurse.
Sleep:
Elijah is a pretty rockstar sleeper. He takes 4 naps a day: morning (8-10), late morning (11-2ish), afternoon (3-5ish), and a quick evening (5:30-6:30ish). Because we are in between a 3 and 4 hour schedule, his evening quick nap is kind of weird. Elijah still puts himself to sleep, I just wait until I see him yawn or he gets fussy then just put him down. His first 2 naps are in his carseat, and he likes to sleep there. He sleeps swaddled with one arm out, because he ends up that way anyway.
The worst part of Elijah and sleep is going to bed at night. My sweet sleepy baby turns into a needy little man around 7:00 at night. I think its the evening nap that he is still hanging onto, but he does not like to go to bed. I used to nurse Nathan to sleep at night, but I think this confuses Eljiah. He is used to doing "eat, play, sleep." all day. So after we nurse he's ready to party for alittle bit. Most nights bedtime means 15-20 minutes of crying. Once he is asleep he only wakes up once around 2-3am, which is AWESOME.
