For a little over a week I have been working with Dorian on sleeping in his bassinet by himself, not so much trying to get him out of our bed but ensuring that he can sleep while I go for my morning runs on Saturday since Cameron can't exactly be awake and conscious between 6:30 a.m and 8:00 a.m. This morning after feeding him and putting him in the bassinet in the living, I rolled the bassinet/co-sleeper into the bedroom and got into bed and slept on my stomach for 2 and a half hours while he slept calmly by himself in his bassinet which was a huge improvement as normally he somehow knows when I put the bassinet in the bedroom. Only issue....... he slept on his tummy which is the only way that he will sleep, my mother keeps hassling me not to but he just won't sleep on his back, he feels a lot safer on his tummy. Maybe in a couple months he'll be able to but he is getting better and better at controlling his head and neck and doing mini pushups as they call it.
Yesterday morning I took him for our 1.25 mile training run and he did really good, but next Saturday will be 1.75 miles, then the following will be 2 miles and the temps seem like they are going to stay above 80 and the humidity making it feel like 100 and I just don't want him out in that heat for long than 10 or 15 minutes. It will be great when I can trust to leave him in his bassinet sleeping while I go for my long runs.
Other than that, for a week Dorian has been working on smiling, and laughing while also working on his mouth movements trying to imitate our talking. He is really lifting his head and looking around now constantly, his head is getting steadier and not so wobbly but he still has some work to do which of course he will accomplish in no time.
