Sleep!

Ah I finally got a good night of sleep. Vincent went to bed at 11:30pm and didnt wake up until 5:45am. He ate for 10 minutes and went back to sleep. Didn't wake again until 8:52am. I was so happy, its my birthday and my almost 8 week old gave me such a great gift. However, he's been restless all day. He falls asleep but not good enough and wakes up bc he moved.
Yesterday, I had him in the bouncy seat and of course he was fussy because it wasn't the swing. He started kicking and hit the little toy fish on the you bar. His face lit up. He started smiling and almost giggled. He then continued trying to hit the toy. He managed a few times and you knew when he missed bc he'd grunt about it. I noticed that Jake would occasionally look over and watch. He quit playing his video game and turned to just watch Vincent kicked at the toy. I asked why he quit playing and he said he was tired. I don't think that was why. I believe he wanted to watch Vincent progress with learning about his feet.

Please sleep in the crib!

My boufriend finally got time to set the crib up. I really didnt expect it to take 2 hours to do, but it did. Shortly after Vincent fell asleep so I figured I'd try laying him in the crib. The moment he touched the mattress he started screaming. So I put him back in the swing. Later on he fell asleep eating so I tried again. He slept from 8:20- 9pm, then woke up screaming. So I put him in swing and he went back to sleep. Then after his 11:30pm feeding he wouldn't sleep in the crib or swing only against me in my bed. He was like that up until 10am when he finally let me put him in the swing. Oh how I wish he would sleep in his bed. The swing takes up a lot of space.

Google adsense deleted.

I just logged in to blogger and found that my google adsense has been deleted due to over clicking. I think this is insane. I will not fight with google about it, I will just find new methods to add to my blog. Again I do not add these to upset people or to make a living I do it in hopes that I can send my son to college when hes 18-19yrs old.

Vincent refuses to sleep in his travel bed or bassinet. He use to only sleep on or against me, now he only sleeps in his swing. I hope to set his crib up within the next week, so we can start training him to sleep in there.
He is starting to smile more and more. Sometimes he will just keep smiling if I am trying to get him to sleep at night. He has also learned how to cover up when he gets cold. I woke up to get ready to go to some mom to mom sales, put his blanket on the tray of  the swing, came back and he had pulled it on himself. He did the same thing yesterday laying in my bed.

UH-OH

   On Saturday night, Jake had to go in to work at 10pm and was set to get off at 6am. I put Vincent in the baby swing by my bed and he fell asleep. He usually has tons of problems sleeping and only power naps most days. However he slept very well for 5 hours in the baby swing. I started thinking maybe he has Reflux. I did my research only to find out that he has every symptom of reflux. I am giving it a couple days to see if the symptoms go away, if not I will be calling his doctor to get a test or two done.

   On Easter, he was way more fussy than usual. I was trying everything I could to get him to calm down but he kept acting hungry. I fed him for about 45 mins than he started to fall asleep and let go. A few minutes later he was acting hungry again and I knew he wasn't. Jake's sister in law was holding him and she said that it look as if he is starting to teeth. I was like "He's only a month old he can't be teething already." So she handed him to Jake's mom and sure enough she said the same thing. Thankfully, Vincent has decided that the pacifier isn't an enemy now that he's teething. It was the first day he would take the pacifier. When we went over to Jake's oldest brother's house so that Jake could help him put in his new flooring, I was trying to give Vincent the pacifier because he was getting fussy and tired. I got distracted by something on the television, the pacifier about two inches from his mouth, he took it from me on his own.

I got his photo cd from when he was two days old finally:

My Reason for Ads

I know that many people do not like reading blogs that have ads, so I thought I would share why I put them on here. I currently live with my boyfriend and his parents. We stay in the attic, it is basically a regular bedroom. I do not have a job and my boyfriend works for minimum wage at a restaurant that will probably close in a couple years. I want to become a book author but believe I need to improve my writing first. I found a school that offers online writing courses. However, each course is $100. There is two or more that I would love to take. I do not plan on taking these classes until I can get a job and we get a place of our own. The reason I have added ads to my blog is to save up for my son to go to college. If he grows up and decides he doesn't want to go to college, I will let him do what he wants with the money. I just want to know he has the option.
