Who needs sleep anyhow?

Luke loves his grandmother and Aunts. I know this because when my mom and sisters were here Luke slept like an angel during the day. We had to wake him to feed him. However, each time one of them left, he went on a day long sleep strike. For example, yesterday he was up from the time Pam left- 9am- until about 3pm. That was a fun day. So much for me napping during the day! The only silver lining is that it forced me to figure out my own "tricks" to get Luke sleepy. I am finding that the following work: walks outside (not good after dark), his swing (only works if he is about to fall asleep first), and swaddling, holding, rocking, giggling AND walking simultaneously while in a side position with the pacifier (takes a bit of coordination).

Luke is in serious need of a bath. His hair is beyond greasy. His cord fell off a week ago, but on Thursday the doctor said to wait on a bath until the belly button had completely healed- and it has not yet. Plus, the whole idea of an actual bath scares me, to be honest, because Luke hates sponge baths and an actual bath seems trickier. But soon I will get over my fear because I'm starting to get embarassed for the little man. He's looked better;) So, no new pictures for now. All you get in this post is my sleep deprived rambling. I will attempt a solo sponge bath later today and snap some new pictures. Wish me luck.
