Mommy's Night Out

This weekend I had my first Happy Hour since Sawyer was born (well actually longer b/c I didn't drink for 9 months) with my friend Megan. We went to a place down the street to make it easy. Her hubby Matt picked me up and my Matt picked us up it was really nice! We went early so that we didn't miss bedtime. Matt was a little nervous because this was the longest he had been alone with Sawyer. Sawyer was not having the best day either :( His naps were horrible and as I was walking out the door he pooped all over Matt! hahahaha I was expecting a call but Matt did great and Megan and I had a really nice time!

We started Sawyer on oatmeal cereal this week and he seems to like it much better then the rice cereal. He only gets a TBL a day but he is almost eating the whole thing compared to 3-4 spoonfuls of the rice cereal. We will start him on a vegetable when he is 6 months, which will be here soon! Good bye to the odorless breast-milk poops!

As I am typing this Sawyer is going on a 3 hour nap! It's funny... as soon I put it out into the universe that Sawyer sleeps 2 hours everyday for one of his naps it all goes to hell. Lately he has been taking 30-40 min naps for the first 2 naps and then the last one of the day is longer but he has been struggling to hit that second sleep cycle again. It's funny how 2 months ago I would have been perfectly happy helping Sawyer extend his nap with a boob or holding him but I am over it already! Take today for instance, I am so glad he is sleeping longer but after about 45 min I either have to feed him or hold him and then I can put him back down and he will sleep another hour. It will always baffle me why he can do it at night and sometimes during the day but lately he just can't do it on his own, what gives??? Don't get me wrong I will take this over his 2 months old days any day but come on dude! Mama wants to take a nap too but you keep waking me up!I have read every single book, blog, forum on napping and age seems to be the answer to longer, more consistent naps. I''ll be waiting :)

Belly is best? I knew he was going to be a belly sleeper.
