Exhausted

Awww...so sad





"When can I grow hair like that on my face?"








Giving mommy good kisses







Getting ready for my bath




Isn't he the cutest thing ever?





It's been a long time, sorry. We've been super busy lately...and super tired. Cason hasn't slept well at all in the last week and a half to two weeks. I think it all started with a growth spurt. He was eating a lot more often throughout the day and he woke up during the night to eat, which he hasn't done in a long time. Well, it's been down hill since. We had 2-3 nights in a row where he woke up every 1.5-2 hours, and he wouldn't go back to sleep for a while. He hasn't ever really slept through the night. He has always woken up around 2:00am, but we just gave him is pacifier and he would go right back to sleep. So, mix in a few more awakenings and staying up longer each time has made us so exhausted. Our pediatrician is a firm believer in the "let them cry" method, which I think is fine...to an extent. The problem right now is that he can roll over onto his back, but he can't roll back to his tummy yet. And, of course, he rolls over to his back every night. He has never liked sleeping on his back, and we've never made him, so I don't think it's right to start making him now just because we are supposed to "let him cry." So, if he's been crying for a while...10-20 min I just go check to see if he's on his back and if so roll him over. He usually goes right back to sleep after that. Cason is such a good baby with everything else...I hate to complain or make a big deal of this. I HATE to hear him cry...especially knowing I'm not supposed to get him. This is probably the hardest thing thus far. Please, please pray for us as we struggle with exactly what to do. There have been many moments in every day over the last couple of weeks that I feel like I can't do anything right for him. Letting him cry makes me feel horrible, but picking him up does too because I know it's not helping anything.


Cason is 4 months old now, I can't believe it. We had a doctor's appt Wednesday and he received 4 immunizations. He was a champ. He cried when he got them, but stopped almost immediately after I picked up back up. Cason weighed 15.2# and was 23" long. He's in the 50% in weight and 10% in height. Dr.Ramadan said..."he won't be 6'7"." LOL Who would've thought?





He is really beginning to scoot a lot now. Most of the time, it's backwards. Today, I layed him on his rainforest mat and went to his room to get the laundry sorted. I was probably in there for about 5-10 min and when I came back he had backed completely off the mat and was laying in the middle of the carpet just a cheesin. It was so cute. He also found his feet today. Every time he layed on his back he would reach for them. He's just growing up so fast.
