We had a good day today, took Charlie to the Library...he almost made it through story time without falling asleep. We have been going for about 5wks now & as it starts @ 10.30am he's always ready for a sleep, it amazes me he can fall asleep with all the kids in the room & the people singing. I love it though & can't wait til he starts to get something out of it, oh yeah & I love the get together after for coffee!!!! Then I took him home, DH has one day off before starting work again so he looked after Charlie whilst I went out to lunch!!! yay, some Erin time. That's the first time in 12wks I've been out without Charlie - big step.
Kel it is very cold & I just can't get it right with Charlie, I either think he's too hot, then too cold - oh I just give up sometimes. Some nights I get it just right & he sleeps great. Though I much prefer it now, we only get 4months of cold in the year up here, in summer it is usually around 39 - 45!!! Yeah very hot, will have to join the gym then as there is no way I'll be walking around town anymore. Now would be a good time to shed some kilos so I don't have to stress too much about it.
Kristie, wow on Dylan sleeping all night. So far we get 9hrs out of Charlie, he's in bed by 7pm...so we are always up around 4am for a feed. If only I could just push him that little bit further. Though I can't complain, 9hrs is great - I just have to make sure I get to bed at a good time. It's all about timing these days. Yes I still wrap Charlie, he loves to wriggle free & you can hear him when he first goes to bed trying to escape - but I've found it wakes him, once he falls asleep he's fine & if he wakes early & is unwrapped, wrapping him back up puts him back to sleep instantly. He's too fidgety otherwies, once that settles down then I will use a sleeping bag, as he's forever kicking off the cover.
Christy we had a PJ day too just recently, aren't they the best!! especially when it's cold. Yeah we are out a lot, as everyone moves to these mining towns for work we are all away from family & close friends so we tend to all form close bonds and help each other out. Also since we are plonked in the middle of nowhere they have heaps of facilities here for kids etc, so there's something different to do most days....I love it.
Krysalyss, sorry to hear about your doctor - sometimes they can do more harm than good that's for sure. I'm sure you know your baby better than anyone else!!!
Melissa, I hope you get good news on the harness, fingers crossed for you.
Well Charlie held a toy for the first time today on his own, it was sooo cute & naturally he put it straight in his mouth. Isn't it amazing how much they change, each morning is something new - I love my little man soooo much. Well must go, DH is at footy training & I have a Christmas present for Charlie on ebay I must bid on. Hope you all have a good night.
