Nap STRIKE!

poor baby. i don't know what was going on with him this morning, he absolutely refused to take a nap. all my attempts ended in a big FAIL. mommy was exhausted right along with baby. i rocked him, nursed him (which usually always works), laid right down beside him, and nothing. i didn't think to give him a bath (dummy me), will have to remember that for next time (God forbid). Luke was awake for over 4 hrs straight, a big huge jump from his usual 1-1:15 of wakefulness. every time i attempt to lengthen his wakeful period, in hopes of lengthening his naptime (which usually is only an hour), it bites me in the arse! like today :(

every time i attempted to put him down in his crib he would scream bloody murder. i let him try to work through it (for an honest 30 seconds, lol) but it was too much to bear. 3 attempts made, 3 attempts failed. this was him on the 4th and final attempt. He's recently been rolling from his back to his tummy (while he's known how to do this for a couple months now, he's never done it in bed), ugh, something else for me to worry about. i go in and check on him often, afraid his angelcare monitor will fail me and i'll find a baby that's not breathing (ugh, so hard to even WRITE that!). today, this is what i found..

how did you get over there Luke?!

he's suppose to help you go to sleep...

no silly, you can't get milk out of your gloworm's belly!
