misty · Sun, Nov 8, 2015Milo’s sleep hasn’t improved. Last night, she fell asleep at around 8:30, woke up to eat at around 11pm, then she was up at 2, 4, 5, and she stayed awake at 6am. She had a nap at around 7:45 and awoke at around 8:30. Later in the day, she had a few cat naps until this evening, when she slept from about 5 until 7. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish reading that book this week and we can start working on her routine.
Before I forget, I need to mention what a godsend Milo’s vibrating chair is. Right at this moment she’s sitting in it, and I just heard some heavy gas and (hopefully) pooping. It never fails us; every time we want to help her loosen those bowels, we set her in the chair, and before long we hear the trumpets. Amazing.
Back to today: Chase and I visited La Boulangerie de San Francisco in Cole Valley this morning (after Milo’s first nap) and had a bit of brunch. It was a rainy day, so we didn’t walk around too much at that time. I decided that I wanted to be out of the apartment more (since I’m home so much during the week), so Chase rented the car in the building and we headed out to East Bay. We picked up some mac n cheese from Homeroom and then went out to Redwood Regional Park for a look around.
After eating in the car (there was a slight drizzle), we put Milo in the carrier and set out for a walk (when the drizzle stopped). Milo loves looking at trees, and she put up a valiant effort to stay awake during our walk. She lasted about 15 minutes, and then she was passed out until we were leaving the park. Hopefully she enjoyed what she was able to see.
Notes:
Milo took the pacifier in the car, which helped her stop fussing. If we do make a trip up north for Thanksgiving, I feel better knowing that she can be soothed while in the carseat.
Chase and Milo played on the floor for just a little while today. Her tummy time abilities are great when she’s in the mood. Today, however, she was fussed and the play didn’t last long.
Later:
- Tried the night time routine for the first time tonight. Worked well, except that while we were in the massage phase, Milo started smiling and laughing, which of course made Chase and I crack up. Another thing I don’t want to forget: the early laughs and how amazing they are.
