Weeks 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15: Halloween, Autism Walk, Passport pics, Cooking, uva basketball, yoga, talking, states

So there's no reason that I'm behind in blogging from weeks 10-13, because Zachary was still sleeping through the night.  Here was his schedule:

eating: 7, 9:30, 12:30, 3:30, 6:30, 8:30, 10:30 

Napping about an hour to an hour and 10 minutes after he woke up to eat.

Life was really good then!

Starting around 13 weeks, Zachary stopped sleeping through the night.  We are now at the end of week 15 and are exhausted.  Most nights he's up between 4-9 times and as soon as you replace the pacifier he goes back to sleep.  This is exhausting though since we moved him to his room at 12 weeks.  (we tried moving him back to our room in the cosleeper and it didn't make a difference).  

I honestly believe that he's hit the 4 month sleep regression early.  Zachary has been early with all his milestones so far, so there's no reason to believe that this won't be early too.  We aren't feeding him in the night and we don't have to walk the halls with him, so that's good.  I think I've only fed him twice around 4:30-5 am in these few weeks. 

To top it all off, yesterday, Zachary had a growth spurt.  He ate every 15-45 minutes for the majority of the day.  At night, I fed him 4 times and he ate full meals.  phew! That is exhausting! He seemed more normal today, only eating every 2-2.5 hours, so hopefully it's coming to an end and we'll work on getting back on schedule tomorrow.  Please please please sleep tonight!! 

Update: I wrote the above last night.  No sleep last night.  I had to feed him 4 times again last night and he ate 4 full meals again.  My parents took care of the boys today and they really thought Zachary was waking up from his naps after on a few minutes crying in pain.  He spent the whole day chewing on his hands like crazy.  They told me they thought he might be teething. I looked at them like they were crazy since he's only 3 and a half months old.  (teething for most kids is around 6 months and Tyler didn't get his first tooth until 9 months).  I looked in his mouth and sure enough there looks to be a little white dot in the bottom front of his mouth.  I really think a tooth is coming in.  How is that possible so young.....

So now we have the 4 month sleep regression, a growth spurt, and teeth all at the same time.  The trifecta...ugh! I'm hoping this will be short lived......

Zachary continues to be really snorty! This is his way of fussing.  He's mostly a very chill easy going baby who doesn't cry very much.  He will let you know when he's going to cry by snorting.  Pretty funny!

Hurricane Sandy caused the power to go out so Tyler got to sleep in his dump truck sleeping bag (Thank you Dale!) on the floor of his playroom.  What an adventure!

No matter how bad they are, Tyler still roots for the Hoos!

 

Tyler got his Daddy's old United States place mat (Thanks Suz!) and he loves it!! He wants to know all about different states. Here is Tyler pointing to all of the states he can locate. Pretty amazing!! I had no idea he knew all of these. Two days ago when I asked him to point to the states he knew he could point to 5. Now it's between 15-20!
