Help!

For the past few months (yes, months!) Henry has been resisting his nap. It started off as him just quietly reading a book in bed or playing with his blanket for the duration of "nap time," but has recently become a battle to keep him in bed for even just a "quiet" time. He has become quite good at procrastinating as he often asks for "little bit of water" or he says "Mommy, come get me" and he knows I can't ignore "Mommy, come change my diaper."

At first I thought I should push back nap time, nope that didn't work. Then I thought, ok, I'll make sure he is really tired by taking him outside to play, nada. Lastly, my thought was he must be out growing this nap thing. Well, once dinner rolls around and he is literally falling asleep at the table, I know his little body still needs some day time sleeping.

This afternoon around 5:00 he was eating a snack (and falling asleep). I tried to wake him up by switching to another activity, but when he was still falling asleep I asked if he wanted to lay down on the couch for a little bit. Surprisingly he said yes and even more surprisingly he fell asleep immediately. I really don't want him sleeping now (bedtime should be interesting), but I just can't figure out how to make him sleep at the right time these days! And what is even more frustrating is if I was given the chance to sleep everyday for two hours, I would take it! I sure do miss my sleep these days!

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Two Months

It's hard to believe Logan is two months old! I took him to his two month check up today. He is doing right on track with his cooing and smiling. His slightly lopsided head shows his preference to one side so our homework is to give him more tummy time. Hopefully Logan won't start resisting homework this early on in life.

Here are his measurements this month:

Head: 16 1/3

Height: 24 1/4

Weight: 13 lbs 4 oz (same as Henry at two months)

Not surprisingly, Logan is in the 90th percentile for all three measurements.
