Layton definitely took a bit longer to settle into a good nap schedule than his brother and sister did, but finally, around week 12, he got it down! He's always been a fabulous night time sleeper, but the naps took a bit of work! It wasn't until a few weeks ago that he started taking solid 2 hour naps, 2 times a day, with a 1-1.5 hour nap in the evening. What a relief!! And even though we kinda tried to prevent with baby #3, it looks like he's going to be a thumb-sucker just like his big brother and big sister! He's super content and happy when he's awake and really only fusses to tell you he's ready to go to sleep! He's staying awake for about 1.5-2 hours in between naps now and he is smiling all the time! Last week, for the first time, he laughed out loud for me! I was tickling him on the changing table and he started belly laughing for the first time. Oh. my. goodness. So so sweet. He's still bald as ever, which makes his "cradle cap" stand out even more. Ugh, I'm so ready for that to clear up! There has been a couple times when I've gone in to his room when he's been crying and found him lying on his back! (we put him to sleep on his tummy) So, somehow or another, I guess he's has turned himself over a couple times! He's getting to the stage in the past week where he is putting EVERYthing in his mouth. Anything that his hands touch, he pulls up to his mouth. He's also drooling a ton and constantly sucking on his hands/fists. He is just starting to hold a toy in his hand (after I put it there!) and bring it to his mouth as well.
Here are my absolute favorite expressions from the little guy!
