In my attempts for more adult time, I've started diligently organizing and participating in playdates with other mommies. From playgroup dates organized by the Burlingame Mother's Club to informal playdates with mommies in the Peninsula, T has made a good number of friends around town. In most playdates recently, he's been sleeping through the entire thing but as mentioned in my previous post, these dates are less for the babies and more for the mommies (me). It helps to hear how other babies T's age are developing and growing. For example, when T was becoming incredibly fussy and eating constantly at week 6, it was nice to know that this was a normal growth spurt. It's also nice to know how long everyone else's babies are sleeping and what/whether they are using any sleep measures to get their babies to sleep longer through the night.
Speaking of sleep, I've become a mommy that is slowly becoming obsessed with this topic. Not so much because T doesn't sleep well but moreso because I am soon returning to work and would really really like it (pretty please with a cherry on top and ice cream) if he could sleep for a 6+ hour stretch consistently. So far, no luck. Sometimes he'll give me a long stretch and other times (like last night), he'll offer a mere 3-4 hour stretch. I guess I should be grateful that it isn't 1-2 hours (like it is for some other babies/mommies). More on sleep later...
Enjoy the photos!
