It has been a while since I wrote here, eh? Well, time for some updates from my own unique perspective.
It really does make a huge difference that Kadin has started sleeping through the night on a consistent basis. Especially when it comes to the weekends and I "relieve" Tonia on Friday and Saturday nights.
Something about him sleeping 10 hours, waking up for a quick feed/diaper change, then going back to sleep for 3 hours makes Tonia want to stab me in the eyes. Heeh.
Also, as dumb as I am most of the time, I have picked up a few tricks from Tonia. Kadin (and I'm sure most babies) has this tendency to go from rather happy and content, to instantly screaming with tears running down his face. The more you try and console him, the harder he screams until it appears he is gasping for breath. How do you get past that? EXCELLENT QUESTION!
The trick is to scream louder than him. He instantly stops crying, and about 2 seconds later is grinning from ear to ear. Then he might throw up, and I quickly announce it's bed time and run into the bedroom before Tonia throws a bottle at my head.
But hey, at least he ended the night smiling!
