Nap time

So we've been having some nap time issues.  When he was really little, Teddy just slept.  He'd stay awake for a few minutes after eating and then fall asleep on his own.  Then he hit a growth spurt that was pretty long and it took a long time to get over it.  I think by that time he was so over tired he kind of forgot how to sleep!  He would stay awake for hours and hours on end, even though I tried to get him to sleep.  Two Saturdays while out with a friend I was asked if he gets easily overstimulated while out.  I had only been out about 2 other times with him so I couldn't really say.  But I went home and looked it up and it turns out that he had signs of overstimulation at home all the time.  So for a while I was having to make the room dark, turn on the noisemaker etc just so he would sleep a little.  But he would rarely sleep anywhere but my arms, and even then usually only for 30-45 minutes.  But slowly it was getting a little better.  He would fall asleep faster and could only manage to be awake for a few minutes before getting fussy and needing to sleep a little again.  But it was better than him being a monster because he was awake for 6 hours straight!  And he started sleeping longer at night too.  But, last Wednesday I bought a Moby Wrap (and  a bunch of other things we hadn't picked up yet) and used my completion coupon and my Target Red Debit Card so I got a 15% discount on the total purchase.  Anyway, it has been amazing!  I love it so much!  Teddy will sleep for hours in it, Doug can use it, my Mom etc.  I tried a sling but Teddy was too big for the newborn hold, but it should work when he can be trusted to have total head support (though that's almost right now).  So now I'm actually getting some easy housework done, catching up on e-mails and will be able to do some homework too. 

Teddy is growing so much!  I can barely believe it, somedays I swear he grows overnight.  I can't believe he's almost 11 weeks old, that's almost 3 months!  When did that happen?  How can I have been blessed with this beautiful baby boy for almost 3 months now?!!  He loves bath time now, just not being taken out.  He tolerates tummy time a little better.  If he's lounging on his boppy he can almost pull himself up to a sitting position for a minute.  He holds his head up nearly all the time, except when sleepy.  He sticks his tongue out, drools and blows bubbles, smiles, coos loudly, kind of laughs and giggles.  His eyes are becoming lighter blue and he's more expressive with his face every day! 

He's such a cutie and I just can't get enough of him!!
