So, somehow we got in this habit of giving Grayson about a jillion blankets during rocking and then bedtime. I slowly cut them back, knowing it was overkill, and maybe even a little hazardous, until we ended up this list of blankets:
- the “Big Bob Blanket”: it’s a fairly large, but lightweight quilted Bob the [...]

Dude, no way!
Since we’ve been back from our trip, we’ve had some, eh, challenges on the sleep front. First night was so-so, the second night involved all of us being awake from 1am to 5am. It was taking for-ev-er for him to fall asleep, and our tradition has been to stay in the room with [...]

Grandma & Grandpa just returned from their vacation to Dominica, and brought the coolest hat back for him!
I am starting to think that MAYBE I should try to get him to nap during the day without staying in my arms. I usually just nurse him to sleep and then hold him in place across my [...]
