i.e. my two grumpy men sleeping

With a special dedication to my grandma who keeps on asking: is he smiling yet? Well yes, he is.

It’s not the first time he’s done it and it’s not the best picture, but there! I finally managed to catch him.

Unlike me, my son is not a big fan of naps.

Sometimes he’ll pass out for 10 minutes, but mostly he won’t sleep and then he’ll be grumpy about it. However, there are some methods to make him sleep. He will commit to a longer nap, under certain circumstances:

1) with me

2) on me

3) on my boob

4) on my arm

 

Disclaimer: all the photos were taken on the same day.

We can’t really say they are friends.

One shows some interest in the other.

The other is more into blue elephants, green frogs and mirrors…

…and his hands are fast like the wind!

We’re getting an ID for Piotr so that he can fly! I went with him to have his picture taken… I had to bounce him in the air, hold his head and be invisible. His job was to look straight and keep his mouth closed…

… so here are some photos of a cute chubby baby.

Yes. He is wearing girly shorts.
No. They are not wet. It’s just my shadow.

So this happens: Piotr starts to be interested in things. He likes his nursery mobile and follows its movements.

Happy times!

 

However, the mobiles simplicity has a downside. It doesn’t move on its own. It needs a hamster (or a mother) to swirl it. And every time it stops, Piotr tries to restart it. When that fails, he just screams until I come and give it a push.

 

Celebrating Grandad Piotr’s birthday and Bastille Day by not sleeping at all during day time!

In the evening, after a bath and a short screaming session, once L. calmed him down, Piotr passed out in his bassinet and he will be more or less asleep (with short feeding breaks) until morning.

A.: he’s such a nice baby. Imagine all those people around the world right now bouncing around trying to put their newborns to sleep. We’re lucky.

L.: I don’t know. He’s very cranky.
