Routine interrupted

I was as happy to have Crys home for the long weekend as I was for her to go back to work last week. By the end of the week I was tired and ready for some extra help. The only problem? The beginnings of a promising routine were interrupted and now we start over. I spent the weekend trying to take advantage of Crys and taking some extra cat naps and sleeping in. But it didn't work out so well. Friday I was up almost all night and last night I didn't fall asleep until after midnight. Sleeping during the day usually prevents me from sleeping at night. I should know better by now.

Emmett felt the change too and was eating odd amounts at odd times. He'd take six ounces and less than two hours later want more. We were getting close to five hours between most feedings but that's gone. Now its between two and four hours. I'm working on getting him back to every four hours on a more regular basis with the help of his swing. It held off one feeding this morning. We'll see if it works again this afternoon. I hate doing it, but I think he's getting fussy from eating too much.

Other than the sleep/eating issues, we had a good long weekend. It was spent mostly just hanging out at home. Yesterday we went on a mission to find a sun hat for Emmett. Since we carry him as much as possible, we have to figure out a way to keep the sun out of his eyes. T.arget had some cute hats, but they were all way to big for him. We managed yesterday to find two hats, one at O.ld Navy and one at B.aby Gap. They're both incredibly adorable on him. No pics yet, but here are some pictures of the too big hats and one of Emmett in his stroller. You can tell he's thrilled by our outing to find hats.
