Wonder Week 26

 Sorry I haven't been around much the last few days. My little man is going through Wonder Week 26 which means this momma isn't getting as much sleep at night and naps have been almost non-existent. Thankfully last night was better and he is napping soundly in my arms right now. He has also started working on getting up on his hands and knees more during the last few days. :) (part of his Leap) If you don't know about the Wonder Weeks I highly suggest checking them out! They have an app you can download that I have and it is really nice to be able to see where my little man is at in his developmental leaps, they are also surprisingly accurate. 

  I love the app because it tells you what you can expect during the leaps, what you can do to help them through it, some things they might start doing towards the end and after the leap is over. My favorite thing though is that it gives me a little insight on what he is going through. It helps me be so much more patient when he wants to nurse the whole time he sleeps, or wants me to hold him a certain way while he sleeps, or when he just plain won't sleep! It reminds me that this is just a phase and it will be over with soon.

  The other day I was so tired and just stressed (with non baby related things) and I was reading my little man books while he was laying on his tummy and then...he get up on his knees and it just made me so happy! The lack of sleep was worth it to see his new skill and how much he is growing and developing. Not going to lie, it also made me a little sad...my little boy is growing so fast! A little less than 2 months ago he wasn't even sitting up unassisted and now he moves all around! It does go by so fast! So don't forget, even though your little one may not be sleeping, may want to be more, eats less or eats more, it is just a phase and will go by so fast!

Enjoy your babies! They will only be so young for such a short amount of time!
