I can hardly believe Andrew is 2 months old today! It is amazing how much he has grown and changed in just 2 months! Here is is just minutes after being born...
The doctor told us at his last appointment that this month his saliva glands would kick in and he would start to drool some. Well she wasn't lying, this kid is a drooling machine today. I can't imagine what it will be like when he starts to get teeth!
An exciting thing happened today, I got Andrew to nap in his crib! I usually feel like spend all day fighting to get Andrew to go down for a nap and he fights sleep with all hes got. He will take a few cat naps on my chest or in his swing but by about 4 o'clock he is one cranky baby. I was determined to get him to nap in his crib today so when he started to get a little sleepy, I swaddled him, gave him his paci, rocked him, turned on his white noise and put him in his crib... no luck. I had heard that the vacuum helps babies go to sleep so I grabbed my cordless vacuum to give it a try. About 15 minutes later, the vacuum battery was dead, the floor was clean but the baby was still awake! And he was getting very tiered and fussy. After a few more minutes of rocking, I put him in his crib and he went to sleep. I couldn't believe it, I had won a nap battle!
Of course it only lasted about 20 minutes and just as I was laying down on the couch to rest he started screaming.... I guess I didn't really win this time. But after a lot more rocking, I did get him to nap for an hour in his swing!
After his nap we played a bit, here are some more tummy time pictures. He is getting so strong, I am such a proud momma!
Oh, hello! Great Aunt Vicki has got you covered. Give him Lambkins and rub the bottoms of his feet with lavender oil.
