sweet sweet sleep

The kid is not sleeping. AT.ALL.

We are about at our wits end over here. He was doing so well. He would go down and sleep until around 5 or 6. I can handle 5 or 6, no problem. Then, little by little, he kept trying to push the time back. We would occasionally make him cry it out again to get him back closer to 6.

Maybe it's a growth spurt, maybe it's teeth.

but he is NOT sleeping.

Last night he woke up around 12:15, and screamed until 1:30 when we finally gave him and got him. I was starting to wonder if it was his tooth. He is cutting a top tooth right now, so we got up, gave him some tylenol etc, and got him back down. He was up again at 5:30.

The night before he was up around 3:30 screaming. We were strong, we were tough, and then we heard... KKAWHHAAAAMMM! He had been standing in his crib, and fell and smacked his poor little face against the side of the crib. Obviously we had to go in and make sure he wasn't gushing blood and the entire hour we'd laid in bed listening to him scream had been wasted.

*sigh* I don't know what to do. We've tried crying it out, we've trying letting him sleep with us (something I swore we'd NEVER do), we've tried going in soothing him and putting him back down. NOTHING works.

I'm so tired, and really wishing for a full night of sleep.

Maybe when he's 1?

the little things...

Today, Levi fell asleep in his swing, and I was able to clean the whole house, get 2 loads of laundry done, wash diapers, run the dishwasher, and still have time to blog.

It feels good to be settling into a routine.
