Sleep

So we are back to fighting naps again and the unpredictable schedule has started to drive me a little bonkers! The insanity oozes when it takes me more than an hour to fight a delirious child in a nap battle. I came to the conclusion that if he is not down in 30 minutes, I am concluding my efforts and will let him just be crazy. Another factor in this naptime nightmare is that our neighbors are building a new addition and the construction is right outside of our bedroom. **hammer**pound**yelling** I guess you could say we are getting paid back for our project that too the better part of a year and Hollis has to suffer (OR is it ME that is suffering-lol).

Nights have been a small challenge lately because of teething and now that he cut his top teeth we are getting a little more sleep. However, the whole "a normal 6 month old should sleep through the night and nap twice a day for 3-4 hours" scenario in all of our research is, quite frankly, BS! All of Hollis' friends are going through similar stages. We moms are just sharing our experiences, but most importantly our support. When I look at the clock and it is time for our 6pm bedtime routine and I just completed a nap time routine--well you can imagine I wonder where my day went and why I could not manage to wash one dish. Ahhh! This too shall pass, right!
