You may have seen on the Facebook, but we finally figured out why Max was screaming at us for hours on end in the evenings -- and figured it out pretty much by accident too. He wants to go to bed between 6 and 7 pm. And if he sleeps like crap during the day (such as yesterday), he wants to go to bed even earlier.
It was nice to figure it out and I have no problem with him going to bed that early, but I would like to get him to nap during the day too. Yesterday, he did terrible with that and it was really hard by the end of the day. All I need during the day is like an hour of no baby to recharge my batteries. We don't always get that, but I try. Coffee is a dear friend these days.
But, in any case, he does go to bed between 6 and 7 and wakes up usually between 9 and 10 to eat and again sometime between 2 and 4. And up for the day again between 6 and 7. I can handle that. Also, we moved him down to his crib, because he is the loudest little thing ever -- much louder than Ryan was. So, sleep is better for every one.
He still has troubles with the gas though. and I am convinced that he does not like his cloth diapers, which is really an issue. I think they cut into his tummy and who likes to wear tight pants/diapers when you have a tummy ache from gas or are all bloated? NOBODY.
So, I'm not really sure what to do for him there. Because we have a million bum genius diapers and I want to use them. But, some of his favorite time during the day is when he gets to lay on the couch with no pants/diaper on. Maybe I'm just reinforcing it. Dang it.
Oh well. He cries, so I should probably go rescue him.
Also, I just figured out why my latest posts are one big run-on post. I should go back and edit those. I have sewing to do first. And before that, I have to figure out how to get my baby to actually take naps again during the day. Ugh! :)
