Larkin loves: Sleeping <3

Larkin loves sleeping! Just recently he's been sleeping then eating. I think it might be a growth spurt. So during the day he sleeps in his bouncer which I'll show down below. We currently all live with my mom ( I loveeeee) so its a bit tight. Even if we did have room for Larkin to be on his own, he wouldn't be sleeping in there at night. I really enjoy having him right beside me as he's snoozing. He doesn't sleep thru the night by a long stretch . I'm not a schedule junkie so he sleeps when he wants and eats when he wants. Right now he's 8 weeks old and he sleeps in 2-3 hour stretches still. Most nights he falls asleep at 10 and is up by 12-1. Then he wakes again at 3-4. These usually last around an hour. So it's still been tough. 

This is my first must have for sleeping. The first month of his life he slept in babies r us sleepers. I loved this one because it has a zipper and that makes nights easier. Now he simply can't sleep in them because we live in florida and it's way to hot. But for the first month he was comfy.

Now this thing is amazing. I know that everyone has an opinion on how baby should sleep at night but this works for us. We do use the pack n play bassinet but most of the time he sleeps in this. I put it right beside my bed and just rock him to sleep . 

This is the set larkin has and we use every piece. Now last week if you would have asked we never used the swing but he's found an interest in it this week. During the day he sleeps in the swing or the bouncer. I would pay so much for that bouncer. He loves it so much.

I don't think we could have a blanket on him as much as we do without this company. Aden and Anais have the best blankets.they are breathable and light weight ( great for florida )  Now I do let him sleep with the blanket but I tuck it all the way around his bottom. Like swaddling his bottle half. 

This last one is hit and miss. Sometimes we use this to put him to sleep. He only likes nuk brand or tommee tippee pacifiers. 

 That's it for my sleeping must haves for my little guy!

Join us in learning all about this new world

Hello! I'm glad you found us. Let me start off by saying if you are the grammar police might as well find another mommy to follow. If you're still here fantastic. This blog is being started because on April 14, 2014 a little boy joined the world. Now I'm a 24 year old former nanny. I've always been the kid person who never wanted kids . I swore for a long time that they just weren't for me. I'm so glad I met the man that changed my mind. 

I wanted to start a blog so I wouldn't forget a moment. Even though I was a nanny for a very long time having your own really doesn't prepare. Now I was more prepared on how much work it was going to be but I didn't know how much greater the reward would be. 

Everyone tells you "at one month he should do this" and "this bottle is better because do this". Now I'll take reviews from family members any day but I know when I was pregnant I was always looking for full reviews online and looking for honest opinions. I'm a believer in learning while you go. So here I'm going to post things that work for us and what I couldn't live without and just about our lives. 

Right now I'm at the six week post traumatic birth experience . If I do get a following I might post my birth story. I am staying home with him everyday and his daddy works about six days a week. We also currently are staying with my mom and she also helps as much as she can . I am so happy with all of the help I have. I never feel alone or like I need extra help. Maybe I'll spilt up the post on here with my recovery and his life. For now I'm out . Can't wait to start posting!  For now here's a picture of my little family! ( Larkin is one week in this picture )
