Day 25
Lil’ man slept through the night, waking only for a 4:30
a.m. re-swaddle. This is a huge deal for us. That is 6.5 hours of uninterrupted
sleep – amazing!!! Mom took care of him and he went back to sleep for another
couple of hours. She fed him at about 7:00 a.m. and he again lay back down to
sleep.
Lil’ man gave me a gift today, an easier day. I needed to
run to a nearby store for a replacement battery and he went without much fuss.
As the scheduled feeding time passed, he did complain but once home I fed him
immediately. Then back to napping. Noontime we sat on the couch and I re-introduced
him to our dog, Gordo. The dog was jealous of our sofa time so I invited him up
to sit with us. Lil’ man was not overly interested; there is a ceiling fan in
the main room and he was moving his head as the blades moved, but I encouraged
the interaction. Gordo climbed up on the couch and lay down next to us. He sung
a tune of moans and groans, nothing much to say that he looked forward to the
meet and greet. Lil’ man was licked on his hands and face, however, and the
event went well enough for a start. After the 4:00 p.m. feeding and free time,
I tucked our son in and left for naptime. About an hour later, I heard noises
coming from the room. On opening the door, I found him playing and cooing. I
quickly said, “Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping”? He replied with a grand
grin and a quick snuggling back in for his nap. Mom returned home and handled
the late feeding, admiring him each moment she had with him. We went to bed
around 10:30 p.m.
