Last night was the first night he slept in his crib!!!!
Up to now, he has slept mostly in his swing... sometimes in his bouncer seat... but he HATED his bassinet. We had originally thought he would sleep in his bassinet for 2 months in our room, but in reality, he slept in it MAYBE 4 times.
So last night we made the decision to try his room. Neb took the 9pm to midnight shift so that I could get some sleep, and B-boy slept in his swing in the living room. We traded out at midnight, and I pumped until 1am and then slept on the couch. Thank goodness it is comfy! At 2:30am, he woke up ready to eat... So at 3am, we put him in his crib, turned on his rainforest mobile, and quietly backed out of the room.
And he slept!!!! At 6am, we woke to his crying... right on schedule. We both got up- Neb changed him and I then fed him while Neb laid on the floor with Mango. Back to the crib he went... and we RAN to our bed hopeful he might sleep. After a bit of serious crying, Neb decided we should bring out our comfort Secret Weapon- the hair dryer. It did the trick, B-boy then slept until 9am!
It also gave us an excuse to use the cool video baby monitor that Neb purchased... He hung 2 of the cameras above B-boy's crib- we still don't know where the third one will go. The night vision on it was really cool! Here is a shot of B-boy this morning...
We have decided he was being nice to us in honor of GatorGirl's birthday... Happy Birthday GatorGirl!
Let's hope he is nice to us again tonight!
