Yesterday morning Munchie discovered that he has a thumb and that it works pretty well as a sucker. It happened while I was getting my breakfast and he was in his bouncy chair. I turned around to check on him and he had his right thumb in his mouth. It was very cute. He never was interested in a pacifier. He would choke on them and spit them out -- a bit of a drama queen. Unfortunately for him today he can't seem to find the elusive thumb that was there yesterday, so he's been sucking on his knuckles. Very funny.
His poor father yesterday had a really rough time. I was off at the library studying for my board exam in August, and the guys were at home. Everything started out okay. They had some play time and Munchie took a nap. However, we all know what happens when Munchie wakes up -- munching time and heaven help you if the food is delayed. They struggled with two different bottles for an hour before my presence was requested back at home and quickly. I came home and nursed and then went to Panera to study for a bit longer. I'm supposed to return to work in 3 weeks so this bottle feeding is something we are going to have to work on every day. The guys are off to Munchie's Nana's for bottle feeding instruction and support this afternoon.
Sleeping has been pretty bad too. Last night he was up 1:30-4:30 and then up again at 7:30. His Dad and I are exhausted today.
So many issues to tackle. The question is do we attempt to correct them all at once or focus on one at a time. The three big issues are 1) bottle feeding 2) sleeping at night in car seat and 3) not sleeping through the night.
