Morning!
I am so tried today... Oliver has been waking us up in the night for nothing really.. He's really found his voice and likes to lay in his cot, talking to himself... No harm in that, except he's so loud!!
Plus he's really moving himself around his cot now, he likes to sleep on his side and we often find him at the top of his cot, head buried in his teddy bears, giggling to himself!
He also grabs his dummy and toys and throws them out of the cot too!!
Little sod!
Last night- he went to bed at 7:30, slept until 10:30, had 9oz bottle, and slept until 2:30 when he woke, making lots of noise, but not seeming overly upset... We tried to ignore it, hoping he would settle back down himself, but nope he continued with the noise and it started to turn into a little cry so hubby went in and placed him back at the foot of the cot and out his dummy in... Lasted 10 mins, out came the dummy and he started with the noise again!
My turn this time, so I put dummy back in and stayed with him, just stroking his face and calming him down and it seemed to work.. Stayed for 15 mins, got sleepy eyes so I sneaked back into bed... 10 mins later he started again!
This time his attention seeking whinge!
Hubby did the usual checks (nappy, wind) and stayed with him for 15 mins, he fell asleep yay!
It was about 3:30 at this point and we was hoping that was it....
Nope at 4:30 he started crying... I went in and did the usual checks and tried to calm him down... But this time his cry turned into a hunger cry and as it was only half an hour til he normally feeds (at 5) and I just wanted some sleep, I fed him... 9oz bottle guzzled down, nappy change, some wind, and he was sleepy!
Back down at 5:15 and thankfully that was it until 8 when I heard him giggling to himself!
He's been like that for the last couple of nights and I think it's mostly attention... MIL said my hubby was exactly the same so Oliver clearly takes after his daddy!!
Anyway young man is now asleep which is just typical as I was going to go get him weighed this morning!
I have until 11:45 tho and it's literally across the road from my house so should be able to get there still... Esp as he's due a feed anytime now...
We go on holiday on Saturday yay!!
Can't wait to have Paul around for a whole week, it's not just the help I like, it's the company and Oliver misses his daddy, he's always wanting cuddles just as Paul is leaving for work!!
Paul's standard goodbye to me now is 'I'm running late!' Cos he's having cuddles with Oliver and finds it hard to leave him
We're going to a cottage in South Lopham, which is near Diss in Norfolk, about an hour and a half from us...
With the doggies too so I can Saturday morning being stressful as we load 2 dogs, a baby and all their stuff into the car, not forgetting our clothes too!!
We are near Thetford forest too, which is great for walks... There's a couple of restaurants we've been told to try and the rest of the week we'll stay in and cook, as we can't afford to eat out every night, plus we don't want to disrupt Oliver's bedtime routine too much.. A few days in fine, but not a whole week... Otherwise he'll be a monster with bedtime when we get home!!!
Been on plan all week and that shall continue... Hoping for club 10 at least, my 1.5 stone award as well would be nice but we'll see...
