Schedule? I've thrown in the towel. For three days I tried to get Fredrik on more of a schedule. We've been having a big problem with overtired babies in our house and being preemptive with naps seemed to be a good solution. The morning is easy, he eats, plays, then sleeps for about an hour, sometimes longer. After that, chaos. I was trying to get him to settle down for a nap FORVER in the afternoons, and soon, it would be night. So, we're back to going with the flow. Looking on the bright side, Freddy has occasionally self-soothed himself to sleep. Flannel receiving blankets are the key. He hugs and snuggles them all day. Plus, they are right there when a burp cloth is needed. The picture above is from the other day when he was lying in his crib. When he's tired he covers his face with a blanket. Apparently, when he falls asleep he no longer needs the blanket on his face since he had somehow wound it around his head like a turban.
We were surprised that Fredrik would lie comfortably and calmly in a hammock with my dad. He just isn't the passive calm baby, so I was happy to see him relaxed like this for a good 20 minutes.

We now have pretty much every piece of baby gear; recently the UPS man delivered an exersaucer to our door. At first Freddy screamed and had to be removed. Now he loves it and plays for an impressive amount of time. We opted for the Baby Einstein model. We enjoy the buttons that call out "Woof, Dog, Perro, etc."
Does anyone have any tips on solid food? We're starting to wonder when and what to start with.
