Not my style...

This morning (like most mornings) you refuse to sleep in your crib after about 4am.  So, your daddy and I will cuddle up with you in the recliner for the last few precious sleeping hours.  This morning, you awoke around 8am, had breakfast and were awake and alert as can be.  We read the all black-and-white "bug" book that I'm convinced helps you "engage" due to the contrasting colors/pictures.  You loved the book - you'd follow/track it when I moved it with your wide eyes & I even got a few smiles.  When we were done, I figured we'd try some tummy-time since you were in a good mood.  Nope - tummy time is just not your smile.  You quickly became crabby so I hurried to put on the Moby where you instantly calmed down.  Being on a hard floor is just not your style...

After a while in the Moby, you became fussy again but I needed to make breakfast and put away some laundry.  We tried walking around/bouncing and talking silly but you weren't interested.  The only two things that calmed you this morning - the oven fan and the hairdryer.  With the assistance of these household items, I was able to eat and laundry is neatly packed away :)

Here's my FB post for the morning:

Out of all the fantastic baby items we purchased & were gifted, the things most soothing to my baby this morning are the loud oven fan & my hairdryer. Go figure...
