As I write this I'm in a daze. I'm in a hazy fog of days blurred together by Ryan and I crossing paths for a few minutes each morning, handing off duties, and him rushing out the door for work.
You can see from the huge gap between posts that I'm finding it difficult to write. We're smack dab in the middle of baby sleep hell. Point being, Leo's initial 'good sleep' habits have gone down hill drastically. I'de say we went from pretty good in the beginning, to bad, to terrible and now we're at an all time low. I won't go into details but... "seriously Leo?"
I will forgive him the past 10 days as he's had a runny nose and congestion which I'm sure is causing his hourly wakings, but the previous two months is purely his inability to get himself back to sleep after waking up with gas or whatever. According to all the sleep experts, we've done the forbidden and now Leo relies on a soother to find peace in slumber.
I still stand by my belief that a soother isn't all that bad, if used for soothing. What I realize now is that 'soothing' is quite different from 'putting your kid to sleep'. It's a double edged sword. But, desperate times call for desperate measures..... so we stuck the sword in again and again.... hoping for a few more hours of sleep......
.... we're still looking for that sleep..... and hopefully we'll find it soon.
On a more positive note, there have been a lot of good times around here too. Check it out:

So, despite the lack of blogs, the lack of sleep and the lack of fresh air..... the Grants are still having fun. There's no lack of love. :)
