Another week past

I'm finding my child hard work he doesn't like to sleep early, he's on the move and very loud. Other mums tell me their kids are in bed by 7pm, no chance I really don't know how they do it. If I put Ollie in his cot at 7pm he will roll around, shout and cry, bang his feet on the bars and no way will he cry hmself to sleep he just gets louder the longer you leave him.
Last night it was 11pm before he finally fell asleep beforehand he was a nighmare he seems to come alive at night (I blame his dad). I do the whole bath thing, turn lights low, give milk, try and read a story but it's impossible to calm him down.

Luckily last night he only woke once at 3.30am gave him a cuddle and dummy which sent him back to sleep until 9am - absolutly brilliant hope every night is like that as i'll actally get some sleep.
He has only been in his own room or the last two nights and both have been pretty good and I must say I prefer having my room back even though the hubby was reluctant but he's not the on who get up at stupied times.

In over 7 months I haven't actually had a break from this and i'm still sane well just about .

7 months and 2 days

Well what a testing time it has been over the last 7 months, for the last month the little man has been very difficult - sleeping is non existant except for the odd day here and there but he seems to be extremly active in the evenings even after the whole bath - calming down cuddle - milk routine it just doesn't matter he decides when we go to bed and lately he falls asleep by 10.30pm and then wakes again for milk crying between 12.30-3am. Last night I even had the neighbour shout through the wall "shut up" what a cheek (they are our noisy neighbours) it's not like I have a mute button he's a baby for gods sake.

Over the past week he now pulls himself along on his tummy, sits himself up and yesterday even tried to get out of his buggy. I can see hard times ahead, he's going to be hard work but probably fun aswell.
