My oh my how quickly you are growing and changing. Getting you to take a nap has become really hard for me, your Dad has this process that involves rocking, swaddling your arms and legs in separate blankets, and tapping your chest which works 90% of the time for him, but rarely anyone else. I have started to research sleep training and I have 2 books I am reading and am listening to an audio book while I pump at work. So many different opinions about how to get you to sleep better on your own without all the stuff your Dad uses. I am having some information over load, but I know that we need to change something since you need more sleep and we need a method that more that just your Dad can use!
One of the consistent recommendations regardless of method/sleeping philosophy is to have a consistent night time routine. So we have started to give you a bath every night and then a baby massage. You LOVE bath time, you splash the water and grab the turtle thermometer and just have a grand old time. It is one of those special times we get to share every day even if I am working. I wish that I did not have to be gone such long hours. I miss you so much and I am missing out on so much. Finding that balance of work and being your Mama is hard. Just know that even if I am not here I am thinking about you and loving you with my whole heart.
