2 Kids Going Bump in the Night!
Yesterday Carter would not take his afternoon nap so I knew the night might be rough. Carter fell asleep after bath time with his bottle in his mouth and Landon fell asleep around the same time. That was 9:45pm and that was a sign I needed to head to bed myself. Bob decided to have a man night out by the bonfire for about 2 hrs. He arrived around 12:30 and around 1:30 Landon was wide awake. Then right then Carter started wailing because he couldn't find his pacifier. So I went in and gave him the pacifier and he was freaking out. I brought him back to our room and tried to get him to sleep but every time he heard Landon make a noise he was awake. Right when we thought they were close to sleep a train came through and our windows were open so we heard the horn blow all six times. That was all we needed to have them both up. We went downstairs with both kids and gave Carter a bottle and fed Landon and they both settled down around 3:45am. We were exhausted by that time but they slept then until 6:30am. Today was Landon's first doctors appointment. He weighed in at 7lbs 7oz. The doctor was very happy about this because she said that most babies haven't gained that much weight in that short amount of time. She said my milk is definitely in and he is getting the amount he needs. He has also grown an inch! Like Carter he has a clogged tear duct on the right side so we have to massage it and put a warm compress on it. Landon still has his days and nights mixed up so he does so much sleeping during the day. Carter is doing well with Landon. He touches his nose and feet. He loves to rub his head against his and smile. He still is into this fussy whine when he doesn't get what he wants right then or isn't getting attention right then but we are hoping that is a phase he will quickly get over!
