Tis The Season

I love my little boy.  Oh so much!  He's started cereal per the doctors instructions and is doing rather well with it.  For over a month, maybe even longer, he has been sleeping for 7-9 hour stretches at night then wakes for a feeding then goes back down for 2-3 hours.  I can lay him in his crib just slightly drowsy and he falls asleep on his own.  We have always gone to him when he cries and I recently saw a saying that hit home..........
"Teach your child trust.  Go to them when they cry."  I do think this is what we did from the get go.  I guess there is also a method/book out there that teaches that too?  I can't remember what it's called.  Either way, bedtime is always a breeze unless he is overly exhausted.  Even getting up with him for his 4:30 or 5:30 am feeding is a breeze.  Even if he's awake I can lay him back in his crib and he will put himself to sleep when he is ready.  He very seldom cries and if he does it's because he is hungry, needs to burp or needs to be changed.  He is such a great baby.  I am also in love with my Angel monitor system.  It has a sensor pad that even senses the slightest movement such as him breathing.  I recently read a post on babycenter about a baby Ryne's age that passed away from SIDS so I decided it was time to get that puppy out and hooked up!!  After ten seconds of no movement an alarm goes off.  We have tested it several times.  So far I've been lucky in always remembering to switch the alarm off before taking him out.  Daddy, not so much.  LOL  I think it's just because Momma does it more.  I don't think I ever posted any of our pictures we had made so I'll try to do that.  He was 3 months old in them.  His Santa pictures he is 4 months old in.  I'm gonna let this do for now.  I need to tend to laundry, supper dishes, finish wrapping a few presents and then try and shower and relax!  Not to mention bath for baby boy, feeding and then putting him to bed.  Did I mention............breastfeeding is one of the best decisions I could have ever made!!!!!!
If I don't make it back before the 25th..........Merry Christmas!!
