Baby Games

This was actually a pretty good weekend. We have started to feed him on demand a little more than before. For instance, last night. The schedule was supposed to be 9, 12, 3, and 6 o’clock. We fed him at 11, he was quiet until 2:30, and then again at 5:30. That’s only 3 feedings. I’m not even as tired as I used to be. The main problem is that he truly is bass ackwards on his sleeping schedule. Do you know the last 3 consecutive days this little boy fell asleep at sunrise? I work from 7 am until 5 pm and he may be awake less than an hour during that time. Everyone says that babies tend to get better after 2 months or so. I don’t know how that’s going to work with him, but I don’t see how we can make him do that. We can’t wake him other than giving him a bath and he sleeps when he wants.

He is starting to move a little better. He sometimes puts a hand on the bottle while feeding. When I kangaroo him while on my back, his mother likes to play with him when awake. Now, I have to be ready to catch him because he can work his way off. I do have one little game that I like to play with him. I put my finger in his hand, and make sure that it isn’t sticking out of his fist. Then I move it near his mouth. He tries to suck my finger, but he can’t open his hands. That means he ends up sucking his fist and trying to put the whole thing in his mouth. It is so adorable.
