It's been really difficult for me to find time to get on the computer lately. Nathan is a handful. A HUGE handful!
He officially started crawling on December 20th, had a tooth break through on the 26th (the second tooth has since broken through as well), and now he's pulling himself to standing on whatever he can pull himself up on. He will not sit still at all unless he's strapped in his car seat or highchair. We've put up a baby gate on the first floor so he won't tumble down the stairs to the bathroom there (and eventually to the basement which we have to leave open for the cat to get to her box). He hasn't made an attempt to go upstairs yet so there's no gate there yet - but soon, I just know it. We don't let him crawl around upstairs since there's no gate up there yet either, unless we're there and following his every move.
He's very close to cruising and I have a feeling he'll be walking on his own well before his birthday. My other son started walking at 9 months.
I'm hardly getting any time to do my own stuff now that Nathan is mobile and also because he hardly naps anymore. He was up at 4am yesterday and maybe napped for a total of an hour, in 15 minute increments. He was so grumpy all day because he was so tired but he refused to sleep. At bedtime last night he refused to be put in his crib and was screaming and crying and throwing fits because he was so exhausted. I'm sure it's also his teeth that are bothering him but I'd never seen him so grumpy! He eventually went to bed and hubby and I were able to spend some quiet time together (playing video games, haha!).
My husband has been off work for almost 3 weeks so Nathan's routine had changed while daddy was home. He's back at work today so maybe I can get Nathan back to his normal nap/sleep schedule. I hope I can anyway. He's actually asleep right now (going on 20 minutes) so I'm able to make this post.
I hope everyone is doing good. I want to say hello to my teen son and let him know that I love him and miss him and hope things are going good for him. I hope this year is a good one for you, I love you :)
Take care!
Lordy....you do have your hands full. Sounds like my first son who was running by 10 months. Viktor is just starting to cruise and can go from a sitting position to a belly position.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the sleep. Holy hell I'm tired.
