Don't Wake Me, I'll Wake You


Camden is six weeks old this week continues to bless us every day in so many ways!! He has a onsie that sums up his night time schedule "Don't Wake Me, I'll Wake You".

For only being six weeks old, he's really quick to know what he likes and what he doesn't like so much. For instance, he prefers his crib (own room) over the bassinet. This mommy thought he would have a tough time moving to the crib, which we planned to do around 8-10 weeks. However, his nightime sleeping was digressing so we decided to try the crib. And what do you know....he really liked it!

He was still up every two hours to eat but he seemed to sleep better "sprawled" in his crib. As for the "Don't Wake Me" part of his mantra, we find it difficult to keep him awake during the day at times. He seems to enjoy his deepest sleep in the middle of the afternoon.

We continue to work on his circadian rhythms and slowly but surely we're seeing progress. Camden is starting to smile his toothless grins which we surely enjoy. However, with these smiles, we're also getting many other facial expressions! It's pretty impressive how expressive this boy of ours is. We'll have to work at capturing his pouty lip, his angry face and of course his smiles. We've seen them all and will continue to be patient as he continues to grow and express himself.
