Lynx is a delightful little boy!
As I mentioned in my previous post, Lynx's sleep has been horrible. For most of September, he's been sleeping in 1-2 hour increments, sometimes only 30-45 minute increments!! I've been losing my mind. So, by late September, we purchased a bunch of different types of sleep sacks (Merlin Sleep Suit, Swaddle Up, Zippity Zip) and a Rock-N-Play. After some trial and error, we found that the Merlin in the Rock-N-Play was best, though not perfect. As of October 6, I realized that the problem was me (of course!). I had been feeding him to sleep during the day and throughout naps, and whenever he woke up at night. So, anytime he woke up, he assumed he'd get fed, and would wait until he did.
Since October 6, I haven't fed him to sleep, and I've only fed him every 3-4 hours at night. So far, so good.
Lynn turned 35!! Happy birthday! |
We visited our friends Alex, Fred and their children Ethan (6 years) and Zac (1 year). |
Please enjoy this adorable video of Lynx enjoying time with Alex.
Tummy timin'! |
When he sleeps, he's so peaceful! If only he slept in longer intervals! |

Dr. Smith was impressed by how aware and happy he is. She gave me the "ok" to feed him solids and try to get him to sleep in longer and longer increments. She also said that he's very strong! Here he is showing off his tummy timing skills.
