sleep?

I have a good little boy - he sleeps well at night, just waking up once or twice to eat and generally going right back to sleep.

During the day it is a completely different story.

It's noon, he's exhausted. For the past hour I have held him until he has fallen asleep (5 min. tops), placed him in his crib (or pack-n-play or bassinet), turned around and heard him scream. I turn around and he's all "What? That wasn't me, I'm just laying here and being cute."

If he doesn't sleep soon, he won't sleep for the rest of the day and he'll be really fun (insert sarcasm here). So I just stuck him in the swing, without lowering the mobile, and tucked a blanket around him.

Please God, let him fall asleep.

"See how not sleepy I am?"

Gerald looks like he has a lot of hair in this picture.

Did the swing work? If not, also try the bouncy or boppy or something else. I find that sometimes they just want a different scenery or position.

here's my thought: he's either going to grow out of it like Chase, or he wants me to rock him.

Put him in the swing, turn it on high, go outside and take a lap around the house. He'll either fall asleep, or you'll have been refreshed enough to not threaten to put him back. ;)

He looks like he's posing for the camera; "see me? See me? SEE ME!?"
