Finally sleeping better!!

A couple of posts back I wrote about Wyatt not sleeping at night. Thing have changed. He sleeps through the night now and has been pretty good about it for the last week or so. Wyatt went to the doctor for his 9 month well baby check and Dr. Eberhard asked about how he was sleeping. So Kayla proceeded to tell him that he wakes up every night and the only way to get him to sleep is to feed him. Well, Dr. Eberhard told her that, nutritionally speaking, he didn’t need to eat in the middle of the night. He also told her that we shouldn’t run right in there when he starts to cry but rather to wait for at least 20 minutes of him crying before we went in there. So the first couple of nights it was really hard because he cried for about an hour and both Kayla and I went in there with him but didn’t feed him, just held him. It has been totally worth it because now he is sleeping so well and sometimes he wants to sleep even later than before. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that the sleepless nights are over but they have definitely been better the last couple weeks and WE LOVE IT and HIM!
Dr. Eberhard also said that Wyatt is in the 95th percentile for his head size, 15th for his weight (18 lbs) and 15th for his height. So I guess he just has a huge noggin. But he’ll grow into it. The doctor also told us to feed him more table food so we have been trying to give him more solid foods. He seems to love just about everything we put in his mouth. If he doesn’t he’ll gag and then it will all come back up. And occasionally he will forget to chew it and it will get stuck in his throat and he gags then too but he is getting it down. He does pretty well for not having any teeth.
