Sleepy Sunday

Today was Mom and Dad and Caleb's first full day at home alone. Dad went to church while Mom and Caleb stayed home. Dad came home to have lunch with Mom and Caleb and then mom and baby napped most of the afternoon.

Yesterday was a difficult day. Caleb was very hungry all day long. He ate ALOT. Because he was eating so much, he wasn't doing much sleeping and he never really got into a peaceful, restful sleep yesterday. When he did sleep, Caleb was very fidgety and he was uhappy if we tried to put him down in either the bassinet or his bouncy seat. Caleb spent much of the day in either Mom or Dad's arms. He was so fussy yesterday that he was unhappy if we sat with him. He was most content when whoever was holding him was standing up.

The upside to so much eating and little sleeping was that he wore himself out. Caleb spent most of today in a very deep sleep and even slept in his bassinet part of the afternoon. Caleb slept so deeply that Mom said he had a five hour stretch last night where he would not wake up to eat.

For just today, this is a good thing. However, right now, he is in a bad pattern where he gets really tired and sleeps all the time. With all that sleep, he then builds up his energy and generally does want to sleep for the next day and a half. He swings from extreme to extreme. Mom and Dad are looking forward to the day when he is on a consistent, predictable pattern.
