Tristan went into the sling and we did some housework together.  He provided snuggle support while I took out the downstairs garbage and unloaded the dishwasher.  It’s too bad the sling and our couch are incompatible, because I really need to get some web development work done.

Other things on the to-do list:
– donate stuff Tristan has grown out of to someone in the complex who just had a baby
– change upstairs garbage
– make dentist appointment (grumble)
– move crib into our room to replace bassinet

The crib-moving will be a pain in the ass. It will require at least partial disassembly, since it doesn’t fit through the doors. The crib instructions say something like “fill in the holes before reassembling crib for your next child.” Does this mean that they need to be filled when doing a quickie un/rescrewing? Is wood putty filler crap sufficient for this? Woodworking is not my forte.

The moving of the crib is something we’ve been pondering for a few weeks. Tristan has outgrown his bassinet weightwise and is close to it heightwise, but he knows how to fall asleep in it and sleep for a good portion of time. When put in the crib, he sleeps for about an hour, so I am hoping that putting the crib in with us will ease the little Virgo into his new bed gently. I also want him in the room with us until 4 months at the least, for which he has about 3 weeks left to go. That being said, I’m not sure I want to take the crib apart twice in 3 weeks, and we plan to move when Tristan is about 6 months old and we’ll have to take the crib apart then, too. So he may end up with us until then.

It’s such a shame that he’s too big for the bassinet. He’s sleeping some overnight stretches of 6-8 hours lately, and I have a feeling that changing beds will reverse that until he gets comfortable again. Also, there do not seem to be many or any portable beds that are rated for over 15 lbs. Theoretically, you’re supposed to stop using them around 5 months, as sitting up makes them dangerous. Our kid needs to be transitioned at 3 months because he’s a giant. Punkass baby!
