Age: 8 months next week
Milestones: He's starting to wave 'bye-bye' and 'sing' along to songs. He yells and says 'ooo' when there's music on.
Challenges: Sleep. IDK if it's a regression or teeth or all of the above, but my goodness. He went from STTN to up every two hours last night. I'm so tired. Caffeine me.
Funny/Cute Stories: MH told him 'no' the other night, and C stuck his fat lip out, started to whimper, and then just smiled and crawled away. I'm in trouble.
How are you? Okay. Everyone around me is sick, so I'm trying to avoid that. But I think I'm failing. I haven't felt well all week, but I'm in denial.
Anything else? Not really. Just ready for the weekend.
QOTW: Sometimes he naps for 1-1.5 hours in the morning and then again in the afternoon. Sometimes he naps for 2-3 hours mid-day. It just depends. I'd love to get one solid 2-3 hour nap daily. We're working on making that routine, but his night sleep is so inconsistent right now that it's hard to regulate his naps.

Age: 6w4d
Milestones: idk! He sort of tracks us but seems more interested in everything else. He's gaining weight well- at his appt on Tuesday he was 12#10oz!! Chunky boy!!
Challenges: reflux. Started on meds on Tuesday. Think it's working but we will see. And, sleep. He gives us one good stretch in the late evening / early night- eats between 8-10, goes down between 9-1030, sleeps til 0045-0130. But then he's fussy the rest of the night and wakes up every 2-3. If we could shift his long stretch to be from 11/12-3/4, that would be really nice. And idk why he then sleeps like crap afterwards. I usually BF him at the 1am feeding and I'm wondering if I should just bottle feed him to make sure he's getting enough? But then I'd have to pump, so I'd be awake even longer... idk 😔
Funny/cute stories: his face when he got his vaccines- oh I about died it was so sad but cute. He's so big he really doesn't fit into any NB clothes but I have some long sleeve onesies I never got to put on him, so today I put one on, but it doesn't clip at the bottom by the diaper bc he's too long. So I just put pants on him to hide the lack of clipping, lol. Dammit I spent the money on this , you will wear it at least once!!
How are you? Ok. Tired. So, I assume this is part of AL brain- but I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop with him- like I keep waiting for something bad to happen and for us to lose him. Like, from SIDS, or a freak car accident, or him falling off the bed or changing table (not that I leave him) or choking in his sleep or the swaddle coming undone and suffocating him. And it makes me so anxious. I don't let the anxiety stop me- I keep driving with him, I leave him alone in his crib or pnp, etc. but like, what? I just feel like something is going to take him away bc why would I get a happy ending? Idk.
Anything else? We're traveling to PA to visit DHs grandparents who are 90 so they. Can meet N this weekend! I'm so nervous about traveling with him but I'm happy DH is coming bc at the end of the month I'm going to go alone with him to visit my parents and I'm more terrified of that!
QOTW: How many naps does your little one take a day? Oh geez. It depends. What constitutes a nap vs continuing night sleep? Haha. He usually takes 3ish? Depends. Some days he's a sleepy bear and some days he will catnap and oof. No schedule. Hoping he will figure something out by December so we have a few weeks before I finback to work to find a groove.
