Lincoln was the same way until after he turned one. <br /><br />As for the dream screen, I felt the same way, so we lowered the crib mattress a little. He just wouldn't sleep without that thing!<br /><br />Are you free any time next week? I'm on spring break!!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06258481958976707215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803341.post-21538234260434548932010-03-26T16:42:01.136-05:002010-03-26T16:42:01.136-05:00Lol, no that hasn't happened.

But the dream screen kind of scares me now that he's moving around in there so much, the corners of it seem kind of hard, he could just so easily bang his little head on that thing.AliRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11332421707803139102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803341.post-84490339937189497462010-03-26T16:29:18.217-05:002010-03-26T16:29:18.217-05:00Ohhh yeah!

Does Gus ever kick the battery off of the dream screen?! Isla did it so often we had to put the dream screen on the floor because the THUD of the battery hitting the floor always scared both her and I.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008620299775705584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803341.post-91321711842300084192010-03-26T16:08:40.679-05:002010-03-26T16:08:40.679-05:00He doesn't always fight naps, but somedays, fo...He doesn't always fight naps, but somedays, for some reason, are just not good. He usually goes down between 9-9:30, but the last week or so he pushed it up to 8:30-9. Today, we got up so late, and he didn't show signs of sleepiness until about 10:00. So I put him down, and then within 15 minutes he was pissed, and thus commenced insane fussiness. So I gave up for a while, we read some books and snuggled, and then I tried again, and he finally went down after being swaddled and bounced around his room for like 15 minutes. Exhausting. <br /><br />It's hard to really get him on a routine, because he has such a crazy schedule, going to Annie's one day, my parents the next, and then Dan's parents. So trying to push a rigid schedule on him just doesn't work with our day care situation. <br /><br />Oh well, it just means I have some good days, and some not so good. =)AliRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11332421707803139102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803341.post-28476597746534779852010-03-26T15:34:04.159-05:002010-03-26T15:34:04.159-05:00Ohhh Isla fought her naps in her early months...th...Ohhh Isla fought her naps in her early months...those days were rough! Hopefully it's a phase that will quickly pass. Have you been putting him down at the same time(s) every day? I found that to work for Isla...even if she isn't super sleepy, she still goes in her crib around 10 and around 3. She fought it for a while, but now she pretty much falls asleep within 5-10 minutes of being in her crib. <br /><br />Do you have any file folders titled "important stuff" in your house?! That's where I found Isla's :) Hopefully that turns up...otherwise you should order a new one ASAP. I think they take 6 weeks?<br /><br />I would love to wake up with a smiley baby snuggled next to me! I wake up to screams from the monitor. Not as fun.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008620299775705584noreply@blogger.com
