adventures with baby

A week ago, it was great if Thomas took one nap a day.  It was usually a nice, long, two hour nap.  Then sometime last week, he started making a “tired” noise.  It’s a deep, low, almost gutteral moan.  It’s definitely different from his “wet diaper” cry.  So now, Thomas needs naps all day long.  However, they’re short. Only about 30 minutes each.  It seems as though he’s only getting through one sleep cycle, then waking up, unable to fall back to sleep. So, our new routine is on a pretty strict (baby-led) 3 hour schedule.  He eats and naps every three hours, and that might be part of why he is waking up from his naps- poor kid is hungry!  It is much easier to get him to sleep at night with this new behavior.  I’ve heard that napping and night sleeping are related- you must have both or you’ll have neither.
