Swim and Sleep

While daddy swam laps, momma and D went in the baby pool for our 1st swim! How fun it was, D had the biggest smile the whole time...




Of course right after he was so tired, he fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next morning.




Look at that tired little face!




This kid likes his sleep! The first 6 weeks we had some serious issues with sleep, he had reflux so he couldn't sleep on his back. The doctors then started to get into what in my diet was causing him so much gas/pain. Looks like dairy products may have been the cause, if I drink milk or eat cheese the peace in our house is non-existent. We were also given a book from our babysitter, "the baby whisperer" it gave us some insight on why we could never get D to sleep. Apparently we were missing his cues that he was tired and just waiting too long to put him down. Let's put it this way after 4 days following the general routine that the book advises we were getting 6-7 hour stretches at night. Now 4 weeks later, he sleeps 8-8 with one wake up to eat. Not bad for 2 months! So, even though needing a babysitter so I could work one day a week made me sad... I am soooo thankful we met her (thank you The farming momma introducing us) and she offered that book and a couple others. I'm pretty sure I would be walking around like a sleepless zombie right now with a very unhappy baby!
