Charles-Winston is being such a butthead these past few days, usually he sleeps "through the night" but last night he woke up 5 times, just wanting to be held. Don't get me wrong, it's cute and all... The first time. The fourth and fifth time though... Not so much. Benjamin and I have a sleeping schedule where I get up with the baby in the night and then at about 5:30 (not for fun, because he wakes up and wants to be cuddled) we bring Charles-Winston in our bed until 8:00 and Benjamin will take him somewhere else and they'll play while I sleep in until about 9:30. It generally works really well. Last night on the other hand, nobody got a lot of sleep and all of us were grumpy.
He's also been SHRIEKING these past few days, everything will be calm we'll all just be chilling and then Charles-Winston unleashes the scream of the century, it's actually pretty hilarious. Sometimes I think he can understand us because his screams come at the perfect time, ie. Benjamin will say something absurd like "I like puppies more than my baby" and Charles-Winston starts wailing at the top of his lungs. Also sometimes he just does it for seemingly no reason at all. I've heard it's because children at his age scream because they're finding their voices, but this child is diabolical enough to do it only to raise alarm.
