5 Little Monkeys

Dave has duty today so Dawson and I drove to the base to meet him for dinner. We do that often when he has duty...as long as the person in charge will let Dave leave the ship to meet us. We had Subway. We put Dawson in a high chair and he loved it. :-D We had to put a blanket around him to help support him but he was so happy to be able to sit at the table with us.


After we finished eating we walked around the exchange...we ended up in the baby section (of course!) and bought Dawson an outfit, some pj's and a few bibs. The pj's are the cutest! They have monkeys all over them. I've been singing '5 little monkeys jumping on the bed' ever since we got home. *lol* I'll definitely have to get a picture of him in the pj's tomorrow.

Hopefully Dawson sleeps better tonight than he did last night. Last was was terrible!!! It was the first night that he slept in his crib unswaddled. And he hated it! Dave and I took turns getting up and trying to put him back to sleep. He was waking up at LEAST every 30 minutes ALL NIGHT LONG! It was very frustrating. When Dave got up to leave for work, I finally caved and brought Dawson into our room and finally got a couple hours of decent sleep.

I'm going to try putting him in his crib tonight but Dave isn't here to help me. :-( So if he keeps waking up like he was last night I'm going to let him sleep with me again. Dave has the next 3 days off so hopefully during that time we can get him used to his crib again.

...Wish us luck! *lol*

I can't wait to see him in the PJ's :-)

We finally get to feed him tomorrow too! I was thinking about that while we were eating with him gazing at us.

I hope he's able to stay in his crib for you tonight.

This is Dave by the way...just so you know ;-)

I forgot about the 5 little monkey song, I always sing 5 little speckled frogs to Shayla. I love the monkey's though!!!

Good luck with the crib! Sleep is overrated anyways.... *lol*

He is happy in that high chair. I don't know any magic tricks to get him to sleep in his crib. I hope it works out soon for you!
