However, I do think I should rave about Jake's napping and going to bed at night. I've been hesitant to do so because I don't want to jinx it! LOL!
Jake is a pro at going to bed. It's amazing. I truly believe sleep training him was the best thing I ever did. Jake could be a total monster during the day, but the fact he goes to sleep so well, negates a lot of that!
Jake goes to bed at 7pm. He probably could go to bed later, but he's happy at 7pm, and when we change the time next week (in Germany, daylight saving is on the 27th), his bedtime will probably be closer to 8pm. We normally have a bath every second night, though lately with all the outside playing, it's been closer to 5/7 nights. After bath time, Jake has a bottle. He's a little particular about his bottle. I tried switching to a sippy cup, and he was not having it! Plus, he'll only drink his milk warmed up. (When our microwave broke, my mom had to go old school and heat up his milk on the stove.) After his bottle is done, he gets his teddy bear, gives kisses, then I bring him up to bed. I put him down, put a blanket over him and leave the room. He goes down awake and rarely makes a peep. It's as simple as that. Bath, bottle, bed.
As for naps, Jake has been a nap rock star lately and is routinely taking 2-3 hour naps. It has been fantastic. He does the same for naps, has a bottle, but sometimes he fusses before falling asleep again.
Anyhow, both of these keep me sane despite the early mornings at times.
These pictures are from a couple days ago, but Jake has really been into building with his mega blocks. He's so funny too, if I'm on the floor playing with him, he's a lazy butt and makes me get the blocks, and he just builds. I guess I'm his assistant!
That's so amazing how well he's going to bed and napping so well and I noticed you changed the top layout its really cute
