Has anyone had the peanut butter chocolate Hershey's Kisses? They are yummy and I'm enjoying one right now. I might enjoy a few more before the day is over.
I don't have too much to report except that little Solomon is driving us nuts. He was being such a good sleeper and now he's back to square one. He has not slept well AT ALL in the last few days. Alex and I were about to cry last night as he woke up every 1 1/2 to 2 hours all night long! It was so irritating and tiring. He isn't even hungry when he gets up. He's just up. We've been letting him cry it out for longer amounts of time each time, but it hasn't been working, or at least it doesn't seem like it. Finally, we were able to just stick the pacifier in his mouth and he went back to sleep the last few times. My sister thinks he might be in a growth spurt. We started him on rice cereal on Saturday and he seemed to tolerate it well, but it hasn't help him sleep as almost everyone in the world had promised me it would. We also thought that maybe he was sleeping too much at daycare, but I'm not sure. I mean, he does go back to sleep after being rocked or getting his pacifier put back in. I don't know what to do b/c I just want to sleep. I'm dying. So many parents have told me that, that is just what babies do, but then I get mad when others tell me their kids were perfect little sleepers at his age. I know every kid is different and hopefully it just means that if we have another child someday (when I have amnesia about this whole experience) it will be a very easy baby. He is easy in so many other aspects, just not the sleep at night thing. He's such a happy guy most of the rest of the time. It feels good to vent about it. He is suddenly snarfing down food like mad as well, so the growth spurt thing could be right.
I'm hoping to workout right after I pick him up tonight. I would like to get home by 7:00 so I can eat dinner and watch the KU game. It never works out so well though and I'm probably dreaming. Plus, Alex has a photo shoot tonight so I will not have a helper until 8pm and will therefore be lucky to get anything done at the correct time.... ugh...
I love picking up Solomon though and seeing his cute little face, so that will get me through it all.

Hey, Kelly. I remember Gus going through that, so I hope it helps to know you aren't alone. Gus would do superb at night for awhile and then bam!-he would just not sleep for awhile. Who knows what causes it, but honestly I believe the growth spurt thing does apply, and so does teething. He may be going through both and that would throw him off. A lot of that time is a blur now (I'll be reliving it soon enough, though!), but I do remember searching for the magic answer only to find that we had to just get through it until Gus found his sleep groove again. Perhaps you can tell daycare to make sure he doesn't sleep too much? That might help, like you said. Anyhoo, let me know if you need anything. Babies! Gotta love them.

Hey Kel,
Sorry to hear about your sleep deprivation, it is definitely something that can cause you to go nutty. That is the one thing I am not looking forward to. Gosh, I really don't have ANY advice for you. Every baby is different, like you said. You will all get thru it sooner than you think! Just take deep breaths if you get really frustrated.Give the little guy a kiss for me!

Do you think it could be seperation anxiety? Some of the moms on my website that breast feed said that bf babies seem to be more "into" their moms....maybe with daycare and all the new changes he just wants to know that you are still there...hopefully it pass REALLY SOON! I go back to work tomorrow and I am sure our world will turn upside down once again.....
Since your most recent post said he's sleeping, maybe it was a growth spurt after all? Crazy when you think of how tiring growing is, isn't it? The sleepless nights are the ones you forget when you decide to have a second kid. :)
