Snoozefest.

I saw a friend of mine post this video on facebook and I couldn't help but check it out. Firstly, it is really adorable. Secondly, I have actually heard of some of the methods to make a baby fall asleep, especially the hairdryer one or a vacuum. It also helps if babies have colic. That horrifying moment, when your baby is colicky. Luckily for me, Michael is a pretty healthy baby.

Anyways, some of the stuff that babies need are hilarious! Like the smartphone one. I wish Michael was like that! Goodness! But instead, he wants to see what applications I have and whatnot. Not cool Michael.

I actually couldn't find tricks to get Michael to sleep. I mean how do you experiment to find these stuff out? It has to have started by experiments right? One point of time, it was carry carry carry till my arms ached. Then it was tiptoeing around him so as not to wake him. Then, after frustration, it was the cry it out method which I adopted cause my back couldn't take it no more and it worked. Of course this is only done at home. Imagine the horror of that happening in the mall. Whoosh. Madness.

But alas! I have found some tricks! The cry it out method works. He's kinda figured I won't carry him every single time no more. And since I know he needs his pacifier to fall asleep so the trick is I let him cry it out till I can hear it in his voice that he's just exhausted, he tends to have a higher pitch and more angry cry, that's when I go in, pop the pacifier and he'll be knocked out! Baha! Figured you out you little monkey you. And cause of this, he doesn't want to be carried so much when out. Only if he's uncomfortable. But other than that, the trick is, put a cloth over his eyes!

I know this took me a grand 4 to 5 months to figure out but hey, I did it. And I'm glad that he's learning to fall asleep alone as well cause my back is dead and although my clothes are looser, my weight isn't dropping. I'm freakin gaining muscle mass thank you. I'm sending in my resume to become a wrestler soon, I'm getting muscles in places I never knew girls could. Ish.
