Cottage Recap

We went up to the cottage with Grandma and Grampa. William started out great. He fell asleep but then woke up shortly afterwards.

By Tweed he was bawling. So we stop, I nurse him and away we go again. By Perth, he is bawling again. All the way up to the cottage. Basically 2 hrs of crying. But once he got out he instantly stopped and was very happy!

His naps improved tremendously! Your longest was 2 hrs and 45 minutes. On your best days he would nap for 1.5 hrs in the morning and 2 hrs in the afternoon. Sometimes a 3rd catnap.

Rice cereal was started and he loved it! Quite the little piggy! We also introduced sweet potato!

He loves the water. Whether it is the cold lake or the warm inflatable pool. He will happily splash until I think he gets to cold.

The exersaucer was a big hit. He was quite content playing in it out on the deck. He also spent quite a few dinners in it so I could actually eat!

He found his feet! Nowhe never lets them go. He has started rocking sideways so I think rolling over may happen soon.

Sam joined us after the first week and we all fell into a nice routine.
Awake at 7- nurse
Play, eat, play and read books with Sam. Then nap time ( then I would get up)
Nurse, swim, play, nap
Nurse, swim, play, sometimes nap, dinner, bath, nurse, bed!

It helped that we had such great weather we were outside most of the time. And having the help from Grandma and Grampa was awesome. William loves them so much. Plus, its amazing when I dont have to clean, do laundry or worry about cooking :).

The car ride home was also horrible. He fell asleep (with no soos or tears) by the time we got off the dirt road) but woke up in Ottawa and cried all the way to sharbot lake. Then fell asleep til home. But woke as soon as we pulled in with a big loud fart, followed by more screaming. So it seems night driving isnt much better then day driving

Definitely looking forward to going up again! Just not the drives

Operation Freedom

Its time to break William out of hid swaddle permanently. He hates going in it and is constantly breaking out and then waking himself up.

So tonight I swaddled him with one arm out to see what happened.

Bed at 8
Up at 9:30 - soosed
Up at 10:30 - soosed
Up at 10:40 - reswaddled (lol)
Up at 1:00 - the arm was out again. WTF!
Up at 3:30 - both arms out. Double WTF! Also he is wide awake!!
