| I have not had any time to blog lately. This little baby boy of mine is a force to be reckoned with. His happiness is dependent on constant change. 5 minutes here, 5 minutes there, etc. I can handle it as long as he's fairly happy and sleeps well. BUT, he still doesn't nap unless I'm in the bed with him. At least I have that though!
Okay, gotta go. Kids need stuff....

| I believe in what I call 'free range' babies. I try to not abuse things like bouncy seats, excersaucers, etc. BUT I have a baby that only naps on me, and is only happy being sat down for 5 minutes here and there.
We are having a yard sale and some of our friends brought over their old baby stuff to sell. And there it was, the SWING. Everyone has been telling me to get a swing, but I've resisted. I was trying to make a go of it, and I honestly thought, 'Oh, he'll be letting me put him down to nap by 4 months'...WRONG!
So in summary, the swing has saved my sanity. Hey, I'm actually writing a blog and eating breakfast without a kid nursing or sleeping in my lap! I'm giving myself some guidelines like, only when I'm trying to eat, cook, or shower. I would prefer he slept somewhere other than a swing, but a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do.
