Noah’s getting a tiny bit more fuzz on the top of his head. We think he may start out blond if he ever gets enough to fill in to form a color!
He was sick with this stomach bug yesterday, but seemed a lot better today. He must have been super tired this evening since he was mildly cranky from about 5pm onward. He went out like a light at 7pm and still hasn’t stirred once, as of 12:30am.
He’s been sleeping so well lately. He seems to be really comfortable in the bed and knows that if he needs me, I’ll be there. I love seeing independence take shape. Soon we may try laying him to sleep at night in the pack n play. He’d likely come back to bed with me in the middle of the night if he woke though I would really enjoy some room on my side of the bed to spread out. I have no idea how he does this, but we’ll start out fully on my side of the bed with room to spare and by 4am I’m a quarter of the way into Mark’s side of the bed. And we have a king sized bed! Elias was the same way.
We never even tried moving Elias out of our bed at night until he was 10 months old and started to crawl. For a few weeks prior to that, I’d awake to find him flipped with his feet up near my head, or he would try to climb over top of me half asleep. It was pretty obvious he wanted some space to himself and he had zero problems whatsoever transitioning. I don’t know if it’s time yet for Noah; I guess we’ll see.

Beautiful baby, I’m sorry he’s sick! Feel better soon, Noah!
Ben has exceeded my expectations in the sleep category. We moved him to his own room around 5 months and now I go to nurse him once during the night, then he goes back in the crib. It’s helped him sleep a lot better: before, any sound we made would wake him and no one was getting enough sleep.
Noah doesn’t have any problem sleeping next to me at night. If he stirs, which is really rare, I just pop a boob in and go back to sleep. The only problem we’re having cosleeping is when I get up in the middle of the night, he usually wakes and starts screaming. Mark doesn’t appreciate that. I don’t remember it ever being a problem with Elias.
We don’t have a crib and if we move him to the pack ‘n play he’ll still be in our room at night until we feel it’s safe for him to share a room with Elias. Elias slept in our room until we moved when he was 18 months with no problems.
Hi there! You probably don’t remember me. You left a comment on my blog more than a month ago. Great pictures, btw! Good luck to the two of us in our journey through the world of photoblogging!
