these pictures capture the general disposition of davis the last few weeks. we're not sure if it's his teeth, his ears, or just his more dependent personality but ryan & i are pooped. davis loves to sleep, yet even his sleep has been interuppted. yesterday, the dr. said his ears are healing well, so maybe we'll see another tooth soon. who knows? that's our new motto anyway. who knows?
speaking of interuppted sleep, i think berkley is trying to drop a nap. i was hoping it was a phase...that perhaps her new method of crawling occupied her mind just enough to disrupt nap time. over the last 2 weeks she sleeps anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours in the morning & then little to none in the afternoon. seems early to be down to one nap. any ideas from my super mommy friends? also, usually they drop the morning nap instead of the afternoon one. once again...who knows? but if you have any suggestions, i'll take 'em. this twin mommy isn't ready to forfeit nap time. :)
I love how Berk is looking at him like, "why are you crying?"
ReplyDeleteAndrea,
ReplyDeleteI'm no supermommy but Ben( my oldest) started taking one nap at the age of 10-11 months. It was actually great because we moved his naptime later, he slept longer (2-3 hours) and that was it... Summer is doing the same thing right now... I find it much easier than fighting them on that afternoon nap. Just move the morning nap progressively later... you'll see what I mean... have fun and love the blog.

I have a friend with a son one day older than Jayden and he is on one nap a day but sleeps for three hours. She just moved it later. So he naps from like 11:30 or 12 until 3. I know this would totally throw you off with Davis still needing two. Could be a phase also. Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteellen...that's what my fave book says too- "healthy sleep habits, happy child". i think i'll experiment with moving her a.m. nap to mid-day...hopefully it will get longer like you suggested.
ReplyDeletehave you been sucked into blogland yet? do come & play!!! would love to keep up with you, ben & summer! (saw your pic on kris blog...to cute) if not, send a pic through email if you get the chance.
big hugs!
those pictures should be made into a comic strip or a greeting card. that first one is quite funny and says so much.
