We seem to be hitting some speed bumps with sleep schedules and hence there have not been many posts. About a week and a half ago Lou and I began to take shifts because I just cannot function like a normal person on no sleep. I'm still feeding him during the night and morning but if he doesn't go right back to sleep between 4 and 8 am- that's Daddy's shift! His sleep patterns are not bad by any means, but he seems to want to be awake and fuss between the 10 pm and 1 am feedings. We are working on getting him to bed at a regular time but haven't been as consistent as I would like to be.
Mom was away from Brendan for about 20 hours this week and it was tough. I was earning a Green designation for my real estate career and although it was very informative and an overall smart move for my career I missed him like crazy. I also had to pump every few hours in a bathroom stall because the hosts of the classes wouldn't accommodate me. It was less than ideal to say the least. While I was away Brendan's Grandma had flew in from Chicago just to watch him for us. This wouldn't have been possible without her! He was a little angel and he and Reese were taken good care of. Not to mention Mom went above and beyond the call of duty and helped with cooking and cleaning too. His Great-Grandma Josie also got to watch him briefly while Great-Grandpa John picked up Grandma from the airport.
Brendan's Dad and I have been loving the video camera and has been capturing him on film quite often- especially Daddy. We always seem to turn the camera off right before something profound happens. For example, we were fooling around taping him, turn the camera off and then Brendan sprayed his Daddy during a diaper change. Just two more minutes and we could have had it all on video! Darn! I just heard the yells and laughing from the nursery but wish I could have seen it then put it on youtube. :)
So here for your viewing pleasure is another Brendan clip.
