Last week after getting an email from baby center I convinced myself to remove the bumpers from Henry's crib. The first night they were gone I came in to find Henry's arms stuck hanging through the crib rails so as he slept I quietly put the bumpers back on the crib...he didn't even wake up. Ever since then during naps and at bed time Henry holds onto his bumper for dear life! It is pretty funny and it makes us both feel better!
Also Henry has finally started sleeping well again. His two bottom teeth are officially in and he is feeling good as we anxiously await his top two teeth! He had been getting up at 5am every morning and would look asleep but just cry and cry. So after a lot of research online and insane amounts of caffeine I found a solution. Every morning I quietly make my way into Henry's room and jostle Henry so he moves but does not wake up. This is supposed to reset his body clock after 4 days and stop the habitual 5am wakings. I have done this for the past 4 nights and despite Bill's laughter and thoughts that his wife has gone off the deep end, Henry is now sleeping in again until almost 7am with no 5am cries!!! So for now we are in a a great stage of good sleeping and lots of laughter and smiles. I do realize that this can change so quickly. Just when I think I have Henry figured out he throws me a curve ball! I put a picture below that really shows off those two little teeth he worked so hard to have!
We have been getting ready for our cruise to Mexico which embarks in 2 weeks!! Lots of lists have been written and today we go to Target once again to get those items which I hope will help while hanging out on a ship with a 7 month old teething baby! We are excited to swim for the first time with our little guy and get a chance to spend time with family!
