8 Weeks Old


Well, we have officially found the best baby item out there. For 8 weeks now, the only way that we can get Luke to sleep is to hold him and rock him until he is in a DEAD sleep and then put him down. Sometimes this works and he will sleep for a few hours. Sometimes he wakes up immediately when his back touches the crib and sometimes he will cat nap for 15-20 minutes. On Friday, we went to a friends house who had the Graco Sweet Peace Newborn Soothing System. I put Luke in it just to see how he would do. Not only did he sit quietly for at least 45 minutes, he also put himself to sleep. I was able to enjoy lunch with my friend without having to hold him. So, I immediately rushed to Target and purchased one for myself. Since we've had it home, Richard and I have both been able to eat dinner at the same time and we've been able to put him in it and he is content while we are able to take care of other things. Normally Richard doesn't always support my Target addiction, but this is one item that we both agree on. By far, this is the best money we have spent in a long time.
