7 Weeks Old and Fighting Sleep

I'd recently been bragging about how well Tate was sleeping - 6 to 8 hours at night...well I spoke to soon. This week he has not wanted to sleep at night unless it was against me and he is sleeping even less during the day. He fights sleep during the day and then is so tired out by bed time that he can't be put down. Randy took the day off today to hang out with us and give me a little break. With him in class 3 nights a week, Tate and I are on are own and with the sleeping issues I was worn out.

But I do have to brag-Tate and I went to dinner with my sorority sisters on Tuesday night and he was a perfect gentleman. He entertained all the sisters and did not spit up on a single one of them.

6 weeks old

Tate is 6 weeks old this week and I am amazed at how quickly he is growing. He loves to be on the floor moving around..back is his preference but he's getting as much tummy time as we can give him. You'll see in the video I ttached that he is quite active.

Today is the first day he has been in the nursery in his crib for a nap. We've been keeping him downstairs in the Pack-N-Play since I am breastfeeding. After a few days of him getting adjusted to naps in his crib I'm going to aim to put him in his room at night. He's sleeping 6-8 hours at night so I usually get up with him between 3 & 5 for another feeding- just depends on when he goes down for the count in the evening. Most nights he has been going to bed by 10 giving Randy and I a little quiet time together before we call it a night.
