Titus was very clingy this morning. He refused to let me out of his sight even though he was obviously still sleepy after waking up for his first feed at 6.24am.
He cried at soon as I placed him back in his cot, but would lie quietly on my shoulder when in picked him up - a sign that he's sleepy.
So I carried him and sang gently to him, and then tried to put him down again. That failed several times, so Awesome husband came and took over, hoping to play a little with him to cheer him up.
I left baby's room for a while to use the bathroom. He wailed as soon as my back was turned.
I suspect Titus was so clingy this morning because we put him to bed very early yesterday - at 7.30pm because he had missed his nap and was rubbing his eyes and pulling his ears - signs of lethargy for him.
He didn't sleep right away, but laid still, hugging his bolster and staring into space.
I left him like that in the dark. I knew he would fall asleep on his own, he always does.
But he could have been lying in the dark for a full hour cos he sprung right up when I checked in on him an hour later. He sat up and looked at me with enormous eyes.
I'm not sure how awake he was then, cos he didn't fuss when I tucked him again. He shut his eyes right away and I quickly left his room.
He might have taken longer than usual to fall asleep last night, and must have felt lonely, hence his behaviour this morning.
I'm not complaining though. I value every moment he allows me to hold him quietly in my arms. These day little bub is always pushing off me to get down and crawl. :)
