The B's

David pointed out to me that Tucker won't go to sleep without his B's.

The binky, boobies, boppy and bassinet. Without these tools, we can't get Tucker to sleep during the night. When he was a month old and below, we would put Tucker to sleep at nine pm every night. At two months he moved that time up to eight thirty at night. Both times, he would wake up to feed, but wouldn't truly wake up until six thirty am. In recent days, Tucker has been getting sleepy at 7:30 pm and not wanting to wake up until 7 or 7:30 am. We're now moving bath time up to 7:30 and seeing positive changes. He still wakes up to feed in the middle of the night, but it's not so bad. Next up, we're going to try to move Tucker to his crib at night, since that's the deal I gave David.

He puts himself to sleep without a binky at nap time (which is in his crib), but it often takes about ten to fifteen minutes of crying for that to work. My neighbors are probably going to hate me.

Tucker started out as a hefty newborn of 8 pounds, 3 ounces. He had a squished face and a nose triple the size of what belonged on that tiny little face.Now look at my crazy ginger boy! He's a tummy time pro and loves to smile and show off.

The poor kid is stuck with us forever.
