Rew

– let’s devote a post just for baby Andrew. Poor neglected, spoiled darling little boy. He’s had more grandparent time than he could dream of and a much easier time than Oliver during this month. He started off very sick with the doctor mentioning possible RSV. His first few nights were so miserable and pathetic. His sad hoarse cry left me no choice but to keep him in bed with me to nurse and coddle. And it helped. His fever broke that second night by midnight and never came back and he was better much sooner than Oliver. Add to that a schedule of no mommy time for nearly 3 hours each morning and afternoon, no comfortable crib and no regular schedule and his sleep patterns are just awful! He’s in for a shock when he gets home because we’ll be back on schedule and sleeping in his bed whether he likes it at first or not. But honestly, at home he slept so well – long naps and long stretches at night. After the first day of protest I’m sure he’ll get back into the swing of things and be so much happier. His daily activities are perfect though- plenty of one on one time and toys. Our borrowed bouncer is one of his favorites and he can entertain himself on the floor for hours each day. I keep expecting him to get the crawl but he makes progress each day. I’ll post to you tube as soon as it’s obvious. He’s such a happy baby and his personality is already coming out.
