fog horn in the night

what's the cutoff age for dumping a baby at the firehouse?

she spent all night crying. the 2 day nocturnal slumber streak ended ugly. at least i discovered that TVLand shows Three's Company at 4 a.m. They're running the Don Knotts years.

Bigger Veal Pen

After 2 months Josie was too big for the bassinet that sits on the Pack n Play. Her legs kept going over the edge. Her head would squeeze into the corner. So I took it off the top. Now she's in the middle section with more room to wiggle. although she falls asleep faster in the new space. Although she prefers to nap on me while i want to type.

The 48 Hour lifestyle

After keeping me up until 5 a.m. on Sunday/Monday - Josie was pretty much out like a like from 11 p.m. till 6 a.m. with a minor wake up for a little bottle action. It was not even close to a Big Eyed night. We didn't even try to keep her up all evening. She napped when she wanted and still slept better than me.

Maybe I can solve this by changing all the calendars around the house to read a day ahead so when she wakes up from an afternoon nap, she'll be ready for the second 24 hours.

This Could Work

Maybe Josie would go to sleep faster if I didn't give her a bedtime cocktail of Similac and Red Bull.

Her Schedule

I have a sneaking suspicion that Josie's schedule is a 48 hour cycle and not 24 hours. It seems like one night we get her to sleep through most of the night. Even if we repeat the routine the next day, she stays up all night. Then the next night, she's out like a light early. Or maybe this is just her way to get me to realize - you're not the boss of me, Zombie Dad.

Still Something to Await

Even after two months, Josie still hasn't gotten into the act of trying to put anything in her mouth that we don't place there. It's such a relief knowing i don't have to work the "don't taste that!" duty.

quick tip

After 2 months of using a steak knife to cut the seal off the Similac formula carton; the wife pointed out you can flip the lid over and twist. No more 2 a.m. stabbings.
