LOVE MY TOES!
Bedtime FUN!
Emmitt is getting CHUBBY! 14 Weeks
Since Emmitt decided he is done sleeping like his newborn self and I have become obsessed with finding ways to get him to sleep longer bedtime has taken on several routines. It is kind of like Voodoo (as a co-worker calls it). I must complete all rituals before Emmitt's head hits the mattress, otherwise no sleep for mom or dad. So, now we have a ritual of naked time right before bath time. It all started one night when Emmitt was getting super fussy, way before bedtime, and I laid him down on the bed naked and he instantly calmed down and started smiling. Now, just when he starts to get fussy (about 30 mins before his scheduled bath time) we lay him on the bed and play. Kevin has started a new game (videos) that Emmitt loves and now that he has found his toes and baby boy parts he has a great time rolling around on the bed, smiling, and talking. It is a fun time of day that ends abruptly when you take him out of the bath and he SCREAMS! Enjoy bedtime fun photos and video!
What a cutie-patootie! I'm happy to hear that you are finding some rituals that work for you... hopefully Emmitt won't figure your game out too soon! I LOVE the videos! His little giggle and look in his eyes is so precious. You two are lucky, lucky parents to have such a sweet and adorable little boy. Love you guys...
ReplyDeleteAhhh, the bed-time routine...makes having a life outside of the house past 7:00 non-existent, but so worth it! Anything to get the babes to sleep, I hope it continues to work for you.
ReplyDeleteEmmitt is such a sweetie and it appears that parenthood has complimented you both very nicely. Still looking forward to the day we are able to meet him! Love you.
