Geoffrey's 7th visit to Disneyland
Sleep:
Well, Geoffrey's cranky period really seems to have subsided. Was it a growth spurt? Probably. But we also did some research and we thought his crankiness might have been due to the fact that he was getting too much night sleep and not enough day time sleep. With him sleeping 12 hours at night (with feedings) he wasn't tired enough to nap too much during the day, and yet he was still tired and needed that day time sleep. We've been cutting back his night time sleep, aiming for 10 hours, and that seems to help a lot.
Now Geoffrey is napping in his crib. Sometimes he is able to go right to sleep, and other times he needs some crying time before he falls asleep, but his crib naps are now 45 minute naps, not 10 minute cat naps here and there. However, he is still flexible enough to sleep in his car seat if needed, or down stairs, or in the pack and play and Nonna and Grandpa's.
The last two nights (weekends) Geoff slept 8 hours and then 9 hours straight through! I still wake him up on work days at 6 to feed him before I leave, but in a week and a half, when summer hits, I think Mr. Geofferson will be able to go through some long stretches of sleep on his own!!!
New Developments:
Geoff is getting better and reaching and actually grabbing toys now in order to bring the to his mouth. Now that he can hold his head up well, he actually enjoys tummy time most of the time! He really is generally a happy, easygoing baby. He likes to make noise and can even laugh and giggle. So cute!!!
Disneyland
Last Thursday, Geoffrey went to DIsneyland for his 7th trip! We rode its a small world. His favorite part was the African scene because he loved looking at all the leaves and vines. We also rode the FInding Nemo Submarine Voyage and the new monorail. Fun!!!!
