My little man is taking advantage of his new found skill, causing trouble! In just one week, he is able to pull himself up in the playpen and crib, Scoot around the floor strapped into the booster seat! and my favorite ..... attempting to escape out of the swing! I now understand why some of you moms put those ridiculous leashes on your children.
One mistake I have made as a Mom so far is not having my son sleep in his crib in those first few weeks. He now HATES his crib, he wont even play in there for more than a few minutes. If me or my husband are not right next to him at night he will not fall asleep. Not only does he have to sleep with us but he also wakes up several times in the middle of the night to "snack"(breastfed). We have tried the CIO method (Cry it out) but he crys so much and so long that we can never go through with it. It's just so sad to hear him and see him looking at us through those little wooden bars in his crib, he crys like we put him in jail! Its heartbreaking. If you have any advice please share!
This was our son's first Christmas as well as our first Christmas together as a family. He was spoiled by my husband and I as well as his Grandma with many toys he has yet to figure out how to play with lol. One of my favorites is a bilingual Universal remote, he is always trying to grab our tv remote out of our hands so this has been the perfect toy to entertain him! I can't wait until next year when I can explain to him about Santa and the birth of Jesus.
