Got ya, didn't I? You thought our precious baby was going to be the star of a big time television commercial - perhaps like the baby on ETrade? Well, while we think he is absolutely cut out for the job, he isn't going to be on any commercials. But he still is going to be on tv...When registering for Chase at Babies R'Us, I had a lot of help. Meg went with me to register and she told me pretty much everything I needed to know. I also checked with Stephanie to see if she would add anything. What I didn't do, was check my crystal ball and look into the future. What do you mean?, you may ask. Our sweet little 17 lb Chase is now in the business of moving - yep, rolling over. As I said in an earlier post, he rolls over all the time. Even in his crib!
At our 4 month check up, Dr. Dobson told us that since Chase has proven that he can sleep through the night, we now have to play the game of tough love. Mom tells me this isn't the first time this is going to happen. It ain't fun, she says, but it has to be done. So...tonight we start.
Actually, we started a couple of weeks ago. But the problem is, when he starts crying in the middle of the night, we don't know if he is just crying because he wants us or because he has rolled over and is stuck. Take right now for instance....I am listening to him scream from a nap....i guess you can call it a nap...it was 30 minutes - clearly not long enough. I know I should wait it out and see if he'll cry himself back to sleep but I ask myself, "Is he rolled over?"
Why am I telling all of you this? And why are you still reading, you wonder? Well, we've made the jump and bought a video monitor. The cheapest one on the market. I always thought they were silly until now. Hopefully this will make our nights a little less interesting :)
...I did go up and check on Chase (the monitor is not hooked up yet) and, of course, he is rolled over! The end of a short nap :(
If any of you have wise ideas of how to keep a baby on his back (and the sleep positioner isn't working), let me know!
