Nolan is three weeks old today! Above is a picture of him in his Moses basket in his crib as he was going to bed tonight. Personally, I love the ducky bedtime gown the most among his bedtime clothes, but we have also been putting him in swaddle me sleep sacks and we just got a few more gowns that Aunt Pam sent us that we will be using soon. I think varying his clothes is going to help him cope with any small changes in sleeping later. Of course, we have a very set bedtime routine. First, we take a walk just after sunset. It still may have been 103 outside still tonight, but he has done really well and loves looking up at the streetlights on the walks. Sierra has been good on them too. After our walk, it's either bath or hair washing. We wouldn't want any cradle cap! Then it is off for one last change, a bottle, and then a book. He likes to track our voices and tends to calm down a bit if he is fussy. After the book either Tif or I put him down in our arms usually singing to him. I like singing "How Sweet It Is" by James Taylor and since Tif knows the lyrics for songs that she doesn't know the artists to, she varies her songs a lot. He is usually down by 10 and not up until 4 for his night feeding. Sometimes, like tonight, he wants some more singing time. Tonight, I put the mobile and sang to him as he stared up at the circling jungle creatures. I gently shook him until he was out like a light, but of course his Phillies nightlight is still on!
