Day 22: Where I work

Sleep traning Week: 2

Second week of sleeping has been a lot harder than the first week. 

Mostly it’s because Jacob has just developed separation anxiety from me.  He has always been very independent… up until 2 weeks ago.

 

So I have stopped sleeping with him on a air mattress in his room.  I put him to sleep and I would head on back to my comfy bed.

The extra baby gate is now up, So I feel better knowing he will be safe when he wakes up mid-night.

2 nights he woke up without crying and just walked over to our room,  we just picked him up and put him in our bed (bad move), and the other times he would either he sits on his bed and cry or he would just stand in the middle of his room and cry.  I would tuck him back him and he would do the same thing a few hours later.  (ok I won’t lie….. a night or two I just brought him into our bed because I was so tired)

 

Jacob has never been a great sleeper, he is very sensitive with sounds and lights.  My Mom said I used to be the same way, even to this day I can’t sleep unless it is totally silent and dark.

 

Well that just sucks! Wish he would take after his Dad, that man can sleep thru anything.

 

So, that’s how this week has been,  waking up crying a few times a night and me just breaking down from my half asleep stage and letting him back in my bed.

I am going to do my best and keep him off my bed!  (so easy to say that NOW since I am wide awake) but I will try my best.

 

Week 3 has got to be better, right?????

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hubby suprised me at the office :)    We will have our V-day dinner this friday.  Can't wait!

Sleep traning Week: 1

Jacob has co-slept with us since he has been born (when he was a newborn he was in a bassinet right next to me)

Hubby and I enjoy Jacob right in between us but he has gotten too big for our queen size bed.
We decided it was time for him to be a big boy and get in his own bed from now on.

We have a crib that changed into a toddler bed, so now he has a big boy bed to go with his big boy self.  I even got him an awesome Toy Story blanket.

I don't know the "correct" way to sleep train a toddler, so I'm just making it up as I go along.

We blew up a air mattress and hubby and I would take turns sleeping with him in his room.  Everything is going great until Day 2 (hubby's turn). I could hear him screaming and crying at 1am calling out for "MOMMY MOMMY!"  So as you might have already guessed.... I ended up on that air mattress all 7 nights. 

While I am in there with him, he would wake up, look to see if I am there and he would fall back asleep.
Well by the 4th night my back was killing me......

Tonight we are installing a baby gate at the end of the hall... I will sleep in my own room with hubby and if Jacob wakes up he can cry/walk on over to my room, and I don't have to worry about him going to the rooms that aren't baby proof (bathroom and hubby's office).

I am pretty sure he won't sleep thur the night without crying bloody murder, but for Pete sake! Mommy needs to sleep on a real mattress.

Starting to feel alot like winter

It has been really warm this winter so far.  
Yesterday we finally had some snow.
I usually dislike snow, but I was hoping for a few short inches so Jacob can walk around and play in it.  Last year he was too small to play in the snow.
 His awesome pair of snow boots has been un-touched!!

Oh well maybe next time.....

Jacob's room tour

I finally uploaded a video!!!!!

I re-organized Jacob's room this weekend.  It's toddler friendly now.

Snack Attack!

Jacob LOVES his snacks, I am sure he got that from me AND his Daddy.  We are huge snackers, my husband love sweets and I love salty snacks.

Here are a few of Jacob's favorite snacks,

Gerber Graduates Grabbers

He love every flavor so far. 

 I always bring a few of these along whenever we go out.

They are so easy

to use, just un-screw and serve, and best of all NO MESS.

Plum Tots Mish Mash

Gerber Graduates Cereal Bar.

Jacob's favorite flavor is the strawberry and bananas.

one down side is that it does get a little messy.

Mini Crispy Rice Snacks

Flavor: Yogurt and berries

This is super yummy! 

I love a snack me and Jacob can both share

Calbee- Saya

Snow pea crisps

Another snack I also enjoy.

I believe you can only get this at Asian supermarkets
