looks like i'm not winning any awards this week for mommy of the year. i put mo down for a nap yesterday afternoon, just normal-like, and he played a little while and then instead of just falling sleeping, he started to cry. see, sometimes (seldomly these days, but sometimes), he cries for like five or ten minutes before he can settle down and fall asleep. so, i thought i'd wait it out, instead of teaching momo that crying will earn a social visit from mommy. well, the cries got louder and louder, and i just kept thinking, maybe he'll go to sleep in the next five minutes... and 30 minutes later, he was really screaming.
i gave in and checked on him. guess what, my friends? he had managed to get into the sitting position and had scooted up to face the side of the crib, so i guess he couldn't figure out how to lie back down. and well, he couldn't fall asleep in that position. he was crying for someone to rescue him for 30 minutes. whoops. :O(
i scooped him up and held him until he caught his breath and put him back down. he was exhausted and asleep within five minutes. poor liddo one.
milestones are tricky sometimes i guess. also to note, mo's appetite for solids has returned in full force, leaving breastmilk in the dust. i wish he came with a manual.
love,
mmmmm
awww... little momo -- too skilled for his own good.
ReplyDeletesometimes i wish i could take a video of Amos crying cuz i sort of (oddly) want to remember what he's like during those times as well... but it seems cruel to video him while he's in such baby-agony.
oh, i definitely have a video of mo crying. haha. it was back in the newborn days when nothing really soothed him, so sometimes i just put him down and let him cry while i regained my sanity, and filmed a video to boot. :O) it really was nice to look back on it recently and remember his precious little newborn cry face.
