Today P woke up early for the third time. New trend…wake up time at 5:45. I held him and he was calm, but definitely not sleepy.
Carin’s cousin is visiting us for a week and P and I went out to get him today. We stopped by a place to grab lunch to go before heading back home. Was a bit worried about whether P would have stranger danger, but it was fine. He let Hippo Uncle hold him with no issues. Though we think part of it may be that he just gets distracted looking at everything. He also brought a whole bunch of Canadian gear for P. I suppose it’s good in case we need to send P over to Canada for any reason… Mommy came back in the afternoon and we all went out to get some coffee. He got to stare at a bunch of people again.
His naps today were pretty easy though which was nice. He got enough time in each nap without any intervention from me. I really wish he could translate this behavior to his evenings. They seem much more up in the air as far as difficulty and he is still waking up a few times a night needing help going back down. The issue really being that once he stands up, he’s not going back down without help or passing out.
P Things:
We’ve been trying to get him more practice on the sippy cups. He takes forever to drink half an ounce and plays for a bunch of the time. I feel like there is this chicken and egg issue. I can try and feed him with it, but he mostly plays with it and not that much is actually eaten. BUT! If I give it to him when he’s not hungry he’s even less motivated to try using it. He seems to have the mechanics for using it, but some does spill out of his mouth. I have heard that, like bottles, we may need to try a few different ones…but I don’t want to lol. Let’s just hope he gets it eventually.
One other thing we noticed is that we think Carin’s mom taught P to kiss (more like a kiss-like motion. He just face slams the page) good night to Llama llama in one of his books. I’ve been trying to teach him to transfer that skill to an actual kiss. If anything I think I’ve only perpetuated kissing books as a thing. I will look out for him kissing other inanimate objects.
Day 10, check
