We took what we thought was going to be a nice relaxing week long vacation in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Roo had other plans. He came down with a double ear infection and was a pukey poopy mess. Poor kiddo had a high fever and just wanted to sleep on mommy and daddy all week. We debated driving home early but decided against it and tried to enjoy the time we had away. At least we got a lot of cuddle time in, even if the trade off was a ton of icky laundry! This was a vacation we'll never forget!
Here are a few pictures of Roo when he was four months old. He was really enjoying that Mountain Dew, it kept him up well past his bedtime! He absolutely loves his Jumperoo and it helps us get him nice and tired before bedtime.
The morning of Roo's first Christmas was spent driving around in the car so he could get a good nap in. He was a little cranky when we opened presents and but had fun. Later that day what I now refer to as the 'grandparent intervention' happened. All of the grandparents thought it was time for us to stop driving Roo around to get him to sleep and that it was also time for him to stop sleeping in the swing and start sleeping in the crib. After less than 15 minutes of crying, Roo fell asleep in his crib and took a really long nap. This is about when he started sleeping all the way through the night. The grandparents were just lucky that Roo was ready...and that we were tired enough to try this method.
