Thank You For Flying United
Sir Fuzziness just before bedtime last night, photo taken by Faith. While he took apart the toy tower his dad was either putting it back together of putting the soft tower discs on his head. Zane would reach up to brush away the impromptu hat, but just as often he’d grab the disc and try to put it back on his head.
I foresee a bright future or perhaps in aviation.
With the top tooth coming in Zane’s schedule is all out of whack and he’s rarely sleeping through the whole night. Either he’ll wake up a couple hours after being put to bed (preferred) or sometime in the wee hours of the morning (“he’s YOUR baby”, “No, YOUR baby!”). For a few days he was getting up just after I left for work, around 5-5:30 in the morning (yeah, don’t ask), which wasn’t fair to Faith at all. Yesterday I got him up and fed him at 5:30, thinking he and Faith could then sleep in late, but that ended up being the day Faith decided to start getting up earlier.
Yeah. Previously, I had been feeding him a few hours after he went to bed. He’d eat a good 120ml (4oz) or so and snooze till morning. This week (possibly because of the red flaming front gums) he refused to be woken and fed. So i gave that up.
Well, he started waking up 45-60 min AFTER i got to bed. (Probably because i checked on him and brought him out of REM or RBW was occurring [Rapid Baby Waking].)
And there’s just nothing like waking up a few minutes after falling asleep. It feels like i sit up so fast, i could shoot my body across the room if the blankets weren’t holding me down.
I was trying to get to bed earlier, so i figured get up AT MY NORMAL TIME and get to bed earlier. It worked. I got to bed 60min earlier. wooo hooo!
50 min or so later: waaaaaa! sproing! I found myself wandering up and down the hallway confused and disoriented.
I did pick up Z to comfort him, but that didn’t work. I warmed the bottle and listened to it while i kept warm under the covers.
Jerry started talking to me, “Did you comfort him?”
“YEEEEeeeeesss! I’m warming some milk.”
“You don’t need to warm the milk.”
“!!!”
Finally, he took the bottle, and fell asleep. I lay there with my heart pounding listening to J & Z slumbering like cherubs after a full day of flight. Took me about an hour to sleep. so much for getting to bed early.

Oh, and some of Z’s poses with the donuts looked like Jackie O. Very classy!

He just needs a leopardskin one to complete the look.
