4 Months, 3 Weeks

Wow I'm not good at this posting thing.

We're still in the sleep battle. Every night is different. Every morning is different. Yesterday he was awake at 6:45 and we all suffered because of it. This morning he ate at 6:45 and -- while he was awake when I put him back down -- he slept until 9! NINE! I needed to write that out just to be able to put it in all caps.

My new thing is trying to do better with his naps. New thing as in... I've been focusing on them for the last two days. We'll see how long it sticks. Part of me is thinking that if we could get a nap routine going, maybe his nighttime sleep would be more solid? Hard to tell. When I read all of the Google results for "4-month-old sleep regression," we aren't having those problems. Jack isn't attached to being rocked to sleep at night, he doesn't wake up without his pacifier (he barely sleeps with it at night). He takes a full feeding everytime he wakes up. It's just that sometimes it's 7p bedtime, then 10p, 1a, 4a, 7a feedings. Other times it's down at 7p, eats at 11p, 4a, 6:45a. The 11p feeding is no problem. Hubby and I are going to bed at that point so we aren't waking up for that feeding. If we could nix the 4a feeding that would be awesome. He's starting to just take 3oz at that feeding, so maybe he's starting to wean himself of it? Oh please oh please oh please.

In other news, Jack is rolling over! Back-to-belly! He does it all the time and now there's rarely a time when he's on his back for long. He's forgotten he knows how to roll belly-to-back. He'll get there. He did log roll with two full rolls a few days ago... so maybe he'll get there sooner rather than later.

He's waking up from a nap... gtg.
