Day 2

Well, Manuk was up at 7 am and ready to go for the day, so we get up and by 10:30 he is falling alseep in my arms. I manage to get him down for a 20 minute nap (I was hoping for more but no such luck). He is up by 11 and really happy and playful. I read online that at his age babies should be sleeping 12-15 hours a day and wondering why he doesn't want to do that. Is it because he just isn't tired? He is truly Jacko's son who can live off of a few hours of sleep? Then around 2 Manuk is asleep again but only, again, for aobut 20 minutes. By this time I am sort of wanting to keep him up so that he'ss sleep through the night. When Jacko gets home, we start to set up Manuk's room for sleep. We pick out a night time CD, which is hard, we were debating between Bob Marley and techno house music, but as Manuk really likes to dance, we decided both would be a little too "upeddy" and found an old CD of ours that is Gregorian chants. Jacko got our diskman set up with some computer speakers and got the room ready. Manuk and I went out with mom to go to costco and walmart and by the time we got home he was feeling ready for bed. We had a bottle, sang a few songs and started talking about how it was going to be bedtime soon. I put my nightshirt which I usually sleep in, in bed with Manuk by his face so that he could smell me in his bed and by 10:15 he was in bed and asleep. I was so excited. I went to bed as well and fell asleep. Manuk woke up at 2:30 am and I went in and sang a little bedtime song and rubbed his head, put in his soother and he was back alseep. Yippee. Then I crawled back in to bed and realised that I had had 3 and a half hours of uninterupted sleep. This is a little unusual and my body went, "you're done, you've slept a lot, you're awake". Needless to say I was up until 3:15 when I finally fell back alseep again. I woke up when Jacko got up for work at 6:45 and then fell back alseep unitl 8:30. Manuk slept the whole time. When he got up we had a congradulatory dance, told him how good he was and we started the day.
Now naptime waas a different story. I don't know if I am crazy to try both things at once but we are trying. I got Manuk in his bed for a nap aound 2pm. I le him stand in his crib and hang out. I closed the blinds and turned on his music. He was good for about 10 minutes then cried. I went up and talked to him and layed him down. He DID NOT like that. Screams. I left him for 5 minutes, then went back up. We talked again and sang our little song then I left him again. 5 minutes later I went up again and did the same thing. This time after 7y minutes or so I couldn't hear anything. He is alseep. Yippee. I just hope now that he doesn't sleep too long and not go down tonight. Oh well, one step at a time.
