Well this week can officially be known as "the week of no sleep." Seriously, Calvin slept worse this week then when he was a newborn. Beginning Wednesday he was up every 2 hours in the night...I take that back, he did sleep one three hour stretch. The worst part was he didn't even know what he wanted. Usually when he wakes up, he wants to nurse and then lays back down and goes to sleep. Now, it was anyone's guess what he wanted. He didn't want to be rocked, he didn't want to lay down, it was unclear if teething tablets helped, he only needed a diaper change once, etc, etc. I think the issue is he still can't figure out how to lay himself down from standing up. He immediately pops up when laid down and then cries and cries, but gets super upset if we come lay him back down. He's never been a baby who liked to rock to sleep, so try as we might, he would fight that for an hour before finally just passing out in our arms. Sunday night was better, so hopefully we are turning a corner on this. I'm taking any and all suggestions on how to teach your child to lay back down. He can't figure out how to sit down or lay down once he's standing up other than by falling over.
And I'm pretty certain I went 7 days without taking a picture of him!
