routine

routine has been our friend over the past 3 months with noah. it got him sleeping through the night and made him a much happier baby during the day. this past week, though, sadly enough, our routine has gotten all messed up. we have been taking care of my two youngest sisters while the rest of the family is over seas...which has meant sleeping in a different place, getting up earlier (to get the girls to drama camp), and eating at different times. none of which has worked in our favor. over the weekend, noah decided that he had had enough and has been, i'm pretty sure, the fussiest baby in the whole world. he eats, cries, sleeps, cries, and cries some more. if we put him down anywhere to play or just to hang, he freaks out. it's terrible... i'm going to try hard to get him back to our normal routine over the next few days, if i make it through. ryan is working like a mad mad this week (from about 5 am til 6 or so pm), so he won't be around to keep me grounded. :/ some days i can barely handle all of this time with noah by myself... i don't know how single moms/dads do it!!

wow - what's funny is that your "out of routine" baby is how Breeson is even on a routine. He eats, sleeps, cries, eats, sleeps and cries, plus screams! He refuses to take a nap w/out being held or in his swing and also freaks out if he's not being held.
Hmmm...what are we doing wrong. ??
So, I need you to tell me what your routine is like to Breeson can be like Noah (when he is on a routine).
