Three steps forward, two steps back

Sawyer was doing so well at night.  Sleeping until 4:15 am pretty consistently.  I can handle a large chunk of sleep–a little more than five hours if we got him down by 11.  Seems like we don’t get to bed much earlier with him. But the past few nights?  Yuck.  We’re back to the whole 1 am/2am thing.  And then again at 5 am.  And boy, I’m not finding myself very chipper when that’s the case.  I like to complain.  Sort of a lot.  To James.  It’s hard not to resent him, to be honest.  He’s not the one who has to get out of bed for twenty minutes to nurse.  Twice.  So I make sure he knows it.  I drop things on purpose while getting back into bed and then loudly make some snarky comment intending to make him feel badly.  No, no. . . I’m totally kidding.  I don’t do that (even though sometimes I would really like to).  Hopefully tonight will be a turning point, and we’ll take another step forward.

Other than the sleeping thing, and the struggle with naps that we’re still having, he’s a pretty content baby most of the time.  He smiles constantly and is pretty happy to chill in his swing or vibrating seat.  He loves attention, but is cool with being left alone for bits of time.  I think we’re getting close to getting a giggle–can’t wait to hear it.
