MAXIMO

This is photo #587 trying to get a picture of the little teeth that caused us so much strife last night. Maximo hasn't been sleeping fantastically the past four or five nights, only sleeping for about three hours at a clip. Last night was BAD!
I was just commenting to someone the other day about how his teething has been relatively easy going. (Will he always make me eat my words?) John fed him a bottle at 9:30, he was then up at 10:30, so I got up. I settled him back down and went back to sleep. He woke up again at 2:00. I fed him, then he went back to sleep - unfortunately, I could not fall back asleep - my mind was swimming with thoughts. I finally fell back asleep around 3:30, but at 3:45, Max woke up and did not want to go to sleep.
Over the weekend, I had been putting him in bed with me (in the single in his room) and he happily snuggled next to me and went back to sleep. John and I were thinking that we were beginning to create "bad habits", so we didn't want to pick him up out of the crib at 3:45. So, we did everything in our power to get him to go to sleep - first just patting his butt, then we tried the pacifier, we tried to let him cry it out for a little bit, then finally we picked him up. But, every time we tried to put him back down, he'd scream. So, finally at 5:00, I put him in bed with me, so at least I could get an hour's sleep before having to get ready for work.
He hasn't been eating as well the past few days either - so we're chalking it up to teething. We're not going to be so tough with his sleep habits since he seems to be a bit uncomfortable - hopefully we'll be returning to a better sleep schedule soon.
