To Sleep Or Not to Sleep?!

After my last entry Drew decided sleeping was not for him. Hmmm, this is proof he is my son! Just to give you a quick update, we have not found a sleeping method that works for him. Every night he decides to surprise us with how long he sleeps, one night it might be 7 hours the next maybe 2! I can't tell you how many different methods we have tried. Last night we tried the cry it out method for the third time, let me tell you Andrew went 2 hours strong with no sign of letting up, plus he kicked his way all the way to the end of the crib & was laying sideways..in doing this he managed to also kick his way through his swaddle & sleep positioner. Did I mention he did this twice?! Aside from nightime sleep he also does not like the word NAP. As I got to thinking he was exactly the same when I was pregnant, so it is funny how it is already playing into his personality. Needless to say we have decided not to believe everything we hear or read and just go with it. We are confident we will find something that works.


Outside of this Drew is growing big and strong. Despite the lack of sleep for all of us, he is a happy little guy! As you can see below, he has a big gummy smile. We just took these pics this past Sunday because I just love this little outfit. I got this at one of my favorite gently used kids clothes store "Once Upon a Child." Enjoy!




10 Weeks 6 Days




On another positive note, we are down to supplementing just 1-2 times a day. I have been working hard to increase my milk supply since I am determinded to breastfeed him 100%. It is getting better everyday, so it goes to show determination pays off!!

I will blog again soon! Christie
