No Sleep, Mom!

Well, I believe we are officially a 5 month old! The doctor warned us that months 4 and 5 would be the hardest but once he was 6 months he would be content. Well, we thought we were going to get lucky as 4 months was pretty much a breeze. Well the last few days he has been kind of a bear. He no longer thinks long naps are great. I'm lucky to get 4o minutes total a day. Unless, of course I take him for a walk, then he sleeps like a champ! That's all fine and dandy I don't mind the exercise (and extra outside time) but my husband does like me to make dinner and clean the house every now and then. Yeah, I know, right?

I have no idea how this is going to end, usually it ends with me getting frustrated and letting him cry for a bit, only to go get him and he just gives me a big smile! WHAT?! No, that is not even fair, because he knows he can win me over every time. Yep, he has me wrapped around his little finger and I know that won't change...ever. It's all good, if I put him down and he doesn't go to sleep in the first 5 I have learned to just go for a walk, or pick him up and put him in his walker and he usually figures out on his own he is tired. Hopefully, I pray anyway, the rest of month 5 gets a little easier. With Dan working so much, the gym has become well, let's say I think the gym is a curse to me. I did my workout for a month, so I rewarded myself with a gym membership, and now I feel Dan has been so busy and by the time he gets home its time for Kypton to eat, bath, and down for the night, and Dan has to eat and get back to work sooo yeah that's it no gym for me, and since there are like NO naps anymore there is no working out while he is sleeping...so I do abs while playing with him on the floor and cardio is walking/jogging to get him to sleep. Just when I thought we were really getting into a routine.. Oh well I wouldn't have it any other way. He is such a blessing no matter how ornery he is (and he is ornery!)

It's only Monday?!? Holy Cow..please week speed up a little!

Hope you all have a great week!
