Thank you Lincoln, Roosevelt, Nixon, Regan, Bush, and even Obama, for the day off. I love President’s Day and I love getting to spend a Monday with my little dude!
We had a great weekend. The sun was shining and temps were in the 70’s both Saturday and Sunday. A few things we did this weekend:
1. grilled out – yum
2. took lots of walks
3. swung in the park
4. attempted to get Maxwell to take a nap in his crib
One of these things was not as much fun as the others – can you guess which one? Yep, #4. “Operation Crib Nap” didn’t exactly go well. There was a LOT of crying and when (if) he finally fell asleep he would wake up after only 30 minutes. It was exhausting for him and me. I’m not giving up though – have to be consistent and keep going so today will be a continuation of “Operation Crib Nap”. Wish us luck! The only shining point is that Maxwell is a FANTASTIC nighttime sleeper in his crib. He doesn’t cry at all anymore when we put him in his bed for the night and always sleeps all night long without waking. I know he will be a good crib napper soon too – we just need a few days to adjust.
I know you’ve all seen swing pictures before but I couldn’t resist taking some with my phone yesterday.
If there’s any doubt about how much Maxwell likes the swings, just take a look at his face in these next two pics…
Love it! If only I could get those kinds of smiles when we tell him to “say cheese!”. We tend to only get this furrowed brow…
He’s still cute – smiling or frowning!
I hope you have the day off work too! (sorry Robert!) 🙁
Whoa – Maxwell is a high swinger! You can tell that he loves it! Wishing him (and you) good naps today!
Have a great day off! Good luck today with the naps! We did the cry-out method for Delaney too. Only took a day or two! But now since she’s a toddler she’s back to crying (briefly). She doesn’t want to stop playing but she stops crying after a minute cause she knows crying isn’t going to change anything. Now I think she cries more to let us know that she doesn’t agree with the plan. You can do it!. Hope the transition happens in record time!
Looks like you have a real “swinger” there! Good luck with the naps!
