I have been utterly amazed at how well micah goes to bed every night. seriously...i feed him, change him, swaddle him, put him in his bassinet, and even if he was a little fussy as any of that was going on, it's like he definitely knows when it is time for bed and he gets quiet and falls asleep...
but not tonight...
i don't know if it is because his feeding schedule is a little off since the past couple of days he has been eating about every 4 hours instead of 3, so i fed him tonight at 9 (it had been 5 hours) instead of around 10 or 11? does he know it is earlier than usual? i wasn't quite tired, so i just brought my computer up, turned the lights out and decided it was dark enough...but does he know i am not sleeping? he loves to be around people and just can't stand it that i am awake and he is not??
but it is not even a real cry, it is so pitiful. And every once in a while it stops completely, and, then suddenly, out of nowhere, he remembers that he was supposed to be sad and he starts fake wailing again...and then he stops for a while, but has the sniffles, just to let me know that he is still upset, in case i was wondering or felt bad for him...
i think i have spoiled him. i think he likes human contact a lot. and i do too, i love holding him. mmmmm, uh oh. i've created a monster!! haha, no, but i have created a little man who is very aware of what is going on around him and very aware of how he can get what he wants: human contact.
