When Emmett was born it was time for bed. He was born at 12:30 at night. He had some milk and went right to sleep. He has always slept all night….only waking to nurse. Since we co-sleep it’s really easy for him to nurse when he wants to and I can go right back to sleep. The first trouble with his sleep started this November thanks to daylight savings. He has always slept in until 7am. Clocks changed in California and since he can’t tell time he started waking up at 6. Too early for me. I really like being able to sleep in until 7. Luckily for me we soon traveled to Arizona and he started sleeping until 7 again. We are in New Mexico now and he has been waking up every day around 7:15. In couple weeks we will be in Texas. You know what that means…I get to start sleeping in until 8:00. When we get to Florida I am going to be spoiled, relaxing in bed for hours. The best part about him sleeping later is that once he wakes up I am already awake and can take him to the bathroom. When he was waking up at 6am I was too tired to get up with him and he was going to the bathroom in his diaper. Since we moved to mountain time zone his diaper has been dry every night. He wakes up at 7 and lets me know that he needs to go…in his own little one year old language that only a mom can understand. He has been using 2-3 diapers a day…and he sometimes pees on the floor. He has been talking and using sign language a lot, he has started walking, he knows lots of animal sounds, and can climb up and down a seven foot ladder. He is growing up so fast. The next step will be to teach him to tell time before we head west again so mom can continue to sleep in!
