sleeping



I finally did a mini photo shoot with Simeon. On purpose I left off his pjs after a diaper change and set him up for a nap in a nice knit hand-me-down blankie that my friend Heidi gave to us last week. Simeon sleeps in this bassinet (also a gift from friends) during nap times.
Last night we made the big change from him sleeping in the bassinet, next to our bed, to sleeping in his crib in Shawn's library/office. He started out fine, but woke up in another hour, cried for 10 minutes, then slept another hour. At 10p he woke up and wouldn't be consoled to go back to sleep. I would go in and comfort him periodically, but to no avail. At 11pm, I was about to give up, but I thought I would try feeding him first. So I did, and put him back in the crib and he went right to sleep (he doesn't usually fall asleep nursing, which is another story) and stayed asleep until 2a (!) , when it was time to eat, and then slept again until 6a for prebreakfast breakfast. Yay! More sleep for both of us!

Awww! Tammy, I love these pictures. He looks so adorable and peaceful. I like the brown minky (is that a blanket?) fabric in the background. =) Hope you're having a fun week with Crystal & the kiddos!
