Solomon seems to be back to waking up more than once a night... (sigh)... I had a small breakdown last night when he woke up for the THIRD time. Many people seem to agree with my analysis of the situation. I think he's on a growth spurt and a tummy of milk isn't filling him up for long enough. It's soooo incredibly frustrating. I have to go to his doctor's office again today so I'm going to ask what I can do, add formula to the breast milk or cereal, whatever.. I just want him to sleep longer. He WAS doing so well, sleeping around seven hours straight and then this. One thing I've learned in the last three months is just when you think you can figure out a routine or read your child's mind, they change it up on you. Babies are unlike any other creature or object on earth in that way. I'm sure it will get better, but it's super annoying right now. Everyone has a different solution and honestly I appreciate that everyone cares enough to suggest something, but I just wish there were a magic bullet for this kind of thing.
This morning, Alex and I took Solomon's Christmas photo for our Christmas cards. It's pretty cute. I was contorted in this weird position behind him so it would look like he was sitting up by himself while I was holding him.
Tonight, there is a KU Basketball game and I am excited to watch it... It's something to look forward to. I'm in the process of changing the sheets right now as well b/c Solomon pooped out of his diaper on them! Nice. I say "in the process" because Solomon is asleep on the mattress right now, and I refuse to move him until he's awake.

You're exactly right about the routine changing just when you're getting used to it. Grrr. Have you ever been so frustrated when changing a diaper at night you almost cry (or do)? Hate those fatigued moments.
