After getting Paul sleeping well, two things happened that really threw a wrench in everything...first, he got sick. Sick babies are not fun, and want to be held even more than healthy babies! So I held the little sweetie. Then - I went to a doctor who when i told her I was trying to get Paul to sleep through the night responded "Why would you do that?" - ahhh...renewed frustration and guilty mommy feelings ensued, as she suggested that my 99%tile babe "needed" those calories in the middle of the night.
After much reflection, I realize that I need to remind myself that I need to do what I think is best for my family - reminded again of the best parenting advice I've recieved to date, which is to do what is best for Sean, myself, and the baby, and stand before God knowing that I did my best - Miss Monica Kennedy really is the best for giving my tender heart such great wisdom.
So, we're "back on the wagon" again - trying to get Paul to sleep again in his own little crib, allowing for hiccups along the way for the inevitable illnesses.
Other fun and cute notes - he can "wave" which is so incredibly adorable, although he often does it when he's upset, and he's started crawling more with his bum in the air, even on carpet...not sure why, but Grandpa Keys seems to think it is his "just before walking" move.
