I've been able to sleep better lately. That is of course when Brady is. He went 6.5 hours 2 nights in a row. Then he got sick and went back to his newborn actions of being unsettled and needing the butt patted. It was actually working out when Rowdy is working. I get home and wash pump parts, make milk bags and take a bath. I nurse Brady when we get home. I put Colby in his chair to eat at 6:00. I go bathe Brady and get him
dressed. Then I put him in his bouncy seat while I eat. It takes Colby over an hour to eat so he's still in his chair. Then I nurse Brady again about 7:00 and put him in bed. Then by 7:15 it's Colby's bath time. 8:00 is
Wubbzy. 8:30 his books and then rock to sleep by 8:45. Then Brady is waking up at like 10:30. and I feed him. Then again
around 3
ish and 5
ish. I try to feed him again before 6:30 when I get my stuff ready for work. I already get most of it ready the night before. Then I get Colby up and ready while Brady stays on his changing table. We have been putting the
safety gate up on his door for like 2 months. Ever since that night he was back and forth till midnight. I think he is OK with it and he is sleeping better and longer. He was getting up at like 3am to play.
Brady needs way less attention than Colby did at this age. He will stay on his changing table or bouncy seat for a long time now. It doesn't take me long to calm him down if he cries. I can put him to sleep fairly easily. It's just to get him to stay asleep is hard sometimes. He can sometimes sleep through Colby's noise if he is asleep on me. With Colby it was rock and rock forever. He eats his hands all the time. He just went up to 4oz bottles at daycare. He eats at 9,12 and 3. Rowdy still isn't keeping him yet. Colby is loud and it's hard for Brady to nap with all the
noise. I bought a pack and play with a bassinet to put on the side of my bed. He still wakes up too often for the crib. Plus he goes to bed right before his noisy brother takes a bath. I can't seem to keep him on a schedule when I have him.
I'm taking longer than 15 minutes to pump on my breaks. But, no one is saying anything. I found out that you can get way more milk if you manually express after the pump stops getting milk. you can get way more.
Colby says anything and everything now. He has counted to 10 twice. He can identify all his
ACB's and fill in some blanks with the ABC song. He still whines and we don't know what he wants sometimes. I guess that is just part of being 2.5 years old. He is a picky and slow eater. His favorite is hot dogs. He is not interested in
pottying at all. Although he loves to flush. He has a fit if we flush behind ourselves instead of him. He puts paper in to flush too.
My extreme hair loss started about 2 weeks ago. It is everywhere and Colby will find it. It is
ridiculous after I wash it.
Colby loves his dude. He doesn't even tell me hi when I walk in. He says Mommy where's dude. Yes, his name is dude now. Rowdy said it once shortly after we got home with him. It just stuck with Colby.
Yes, some sprinkles did make it on the cookies.
