The Fifty-Fifth Night

Sitting up!

So. Last night, at 7:20pm, Collin fell asleep in my arms. Instead of just going and putting him down, I held him for a while. He won't be this young for long and it felt so nice, holding him while he wasn't wiggling. :)

So at 8:10pm, I went to put him down for the night, and half way down the hallway, those adorable eyes popped open! So.... I just continued along like he didn't just take a 50 minute nap, and got him ready for bed.

At 8:20pm he was in bed, crying. :(

He cried for half an hour then finally fell asleep. I did go in every seven minutes and the last 10 minutes or so wasn't hard crying, it was more humming and crying together... VERY sad sounding, and he was asleep by 8:40pm.

This morning, he woke up at 6:30 and was just hanging out in his crib, not crying. I got him up, changed him, nursed him and he went back to sleep. We will be out and about today, so i'm glad he'll be getting in this nap. Yesterday's naps were pretty good - 2 hours in the morning, 1 1/2 hours early afternoon but he didn't take a late afternoon nap which is what messed him all up I think.  We will see how today's naps go.....

Also! He sat up all on his own yesterday for the very first time! Lasted a whole 30 seconds before he toppled over!!! :) SO exciting!!! :)
