We tried Dr. Z's tips and they worked. Bubita is taking several 1-1.5 hour naps during the day. It's wonderful. And Bubita slept longer, almost 13.5 hours, the last two nights too and in her bassinet! Previously, she had to sleep in her stroller. She's also been doing great eating more solid foods. Bubita has been eating half a container of apple sauce. She could probably eat the entire container if we let her. We are starting her on other foods, a different one per week, next week. We might start with homemade pumpkin or sweet potato puree; we have quite a bit of it at home.
Today was a pajamas day.
That's usually code for
not-a-good-day-lets-keep-them-in-pjs-and-hope-for-the-best.
Of course, some how that inversely correlates with Bubeaner's digressing on almost every aspect. He had been sleeping so well in his big boy bed, but the last few days Bubeaner has been waking up multiple times during the night crying or wanting to play. Twice, someone (we rotated) had to sleep in the room with him. Unfortunately that also meant that parents, along with Bubeaner, did not sleep well. This makes for cranky parents and REALLY cranky Bubeaner. He has been acting up a lot.
Boobers (aka Sandy) is the only one not having issues, yet.
Doesn't she look strikingly adorable?
We are not sure if it's directly related, but Bubeaner has also been eating less. A lot less. Even his favorites are not working. Oh, he still eats but mainly one semi-decent meal a day only. And we have been having to hound him to drink his water too. Usually, he drinks about 2.5 sippy cups (20+ ounces) a day. The last two days he may have had one sippy cup a day... maybe. He has also been complaining of "ouchies" on his head and today his lower back too. We are not sure if he is really in pain or if he's just using his new favorite word. (This past week he has been using ouchie a lot any time he has hit himself, fallen, or even for things that cause him discomfort. He also knows Momma thinks it's adorable when he says it.) Sigh.
Don't let that cute face deceive you.
We really wish children came with a manual and translation device really would be useful too.
For tonight, Bubita is sleeping back on her stroller after refusing to go to sleep at 6, 630, 7, 730, 8, 830... and Bubeaner is back to sleeping in his crib. Tomorrow we will see what happens.

The Wiggle Worm Strikes Back
"Ah, sister. You were wise to keep her from me."
The stare down continues. Who shall prevail?
A truce is declared.
Phew, that was hard work.
