How long does 25 minutes seem? Really short if its your lunch break. Really long if you're trying to continually make shushing noise while hunched over a crib. Its all relative.
Speaking of relative, we had a few over today for a visit. My parents and grandmom (now a great-grandmom) and Annika's dad and aunt come over today to see Liam. Liam was on his best behavior throughout the visit and was either quietly sleeping, or happily nursing almost the entire time. And, characteristically, he started crying sometime between when they left the house and all got into their car to pull out of our driveway :) He's been generally very good today though so I don't complain, its just funny how impeccable his timing is.
Although I intended to take pictures of the visitors with us, I have none. Annika's family just popped in for a very quick visit but my family brought lunch and stayed for a while. Our lunch was facilitated by the great swing our neighbor gave to us. That swing has enabled a few meals now and we appreciate having it - thanks Jen!
Sometimes I'm more tired than I realize. Yesterday, we went to Great Beginnings to pick up a couple things and Annika came and stayed with Liam in the car. She was hankering to get out of the house for a bit and this worked out well. When I came back out of the store, I told her that I ran into a couple people in the store. She asked who I had seen in there that I knew and I said "No, I literally ran into two people by accident."

Sorry about the sleep deprevation, mom and dad. Bumping into people in the baby store is tolerated with knowing nods, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI hope that every day as Liam gets more used to the world, sleep will become more routine --- at a civilized pace.
Is it time to introduce him to his thumb or perhaps, as our tykes called it, a gi-gi (aka pacifier)? Yes, I know the dental myths, but our guys' teeth turned out ok ... worth a shot to help your little guy comfort himself? ( Just a thought from the dark ages of '90s parenting.)
We've given him a pacifier sometimes and have guided his hand into his mouth to let him know about that option as well. We'll see about that sleep routine...
