super amazing crochet blanket by marcie! thank you thank you, we get so many compliments for it.
after a lovely late afternoon nap yesterday, bun decided that his true bedtime should be 2 am. hem hem. unfortunately no amount of bouncing or singing can lull a wide-eyed baby to sleep. he just sat on my lap and laughed at me. true! naturally, it was no laughing matter today when he just couldn't settle in for an afternoon of rollin' on the floor with his pals. i managed to get him to take a little nap, but when i tried to sneak a feed in (the only way he'll nurse in public is if he's sleeping) he woke up and was none too happy with me. eh! he fell asleep on the way home and when i removed his puffy starfish snowsuit self from the ergo, he was so far into dreamland that he didn't stir one bit when i set him on the bed. i will admit that i left the starfish in his suit and made myself a cup of tea before sidling up to let him nurse. not even our ridiculously loud buzzer (which was rung for an unnecessarily long amount of time by mr fedex) could awaken him.
i will also admit to gently waking him up while he nursed so that he could play and perhaps stave off bedtime just a bit. that lasted maybe half an hour, then we hopped in the tub, which he LOVES now, and then it was jammy time and now he's asleep in the moby. and it's not even...oh wait, yes. it's five o'clock. well, i've always been something of a nightowl. 2 am isn't such a bad bedtime, eh?
do you find that all that clothing plus a carrier makes for a too-warm baby? i'm afraid of overheating leon by dressing him in a warm suit and then popping him into the carrier. i guess rule of thumb is to dress them in one layer more than what you wear, but i feel like body heat complicates the equation (plus, i'm naturally very warm). well, i guess i'm just paranoid because a woman scolded me on the bus for wearing leon during a particularly hot day.
ReplyDeletei miss those days when i could plunk leon down on a blanket for his baby group. your blanket looks very comfy, so much nicer than the usual baby stuff.
the tub is leon's favorite way to unwind after a long day, too! and he is really awful about nursing in public. it really messes with my supply still. pff.
was just going to add, i don't think i have your contact info, but hopefully we can still meet up and do something saturday afternoon. my email is on my blogger profile just in case.
