I Said SLEEP

Well our sleep situation has not gotten any better... it's probably worse. I don't think he's teething - his gums look the same and he's eating and pooping the same - but I suppose he could be. If that was the case though, wouldn't he be awake and cranky? Instead, he's a wide awake, playful, happy, babbling little monkey that just loves to cuddle and explore at 3am. I've tried moving mealtimes, tried bathing him by himself to relax him instead of getting him all riled up with the splashing that ensues when his sister is involved, tried cereal in his bedtime bottle... but he's not really even hungry at 3am, just bored. He goes to bed no problem by 9, but is up again between 12 and 3.

Ah, just venting. It's just a phase, it's just a phase... gives me more time with him at this precious age, right?

The good news this weekend: I got my cats back! C brought them over Saturday night and they have mostly settled in. Shan was MIA for a good 12 hours until I finally found him inside the drawer under the crib. Belle is already back to herself, burrowing under the covers to sleep with me. Man I missed them. Not the hair though. They both need a good bath and brush-out.

And they make trying to crochet very interesting!
