New Schedule?

So we've been under the impression that LR was just an early riser and we needed to get used to it, but the past 2 mornings have been a little different. Sunday morning he woke up at 4:45 because his legs got caught in the crib slats. I went in and got him and then he seemed like he was awake. I, however, was not. I made him a bottle and took him back to his room where he drank half and the other half ended up leaking out all over both of us. I guess I picked up one of the new nipples and hadn't bothered to seat it correctly in the screw cap. *sigh* So I changed my shirt and put him in a new sleeper. Then I let him play around on his floor for a half hour. Then he needed to be changed again. (He's a morning pooper - like clockwork.) When I changed him I noticed that his normal I-don't-want-to-be-changed fuss was combined with an I'm-tired whine. He rubbed his eyes a few times, so after he was changed, I bounced with him on the exercise ball a few hundred times. He closed his eyes, so I tried to put him in the crib, but he woke up. I then rocked him in the glider for 5 minutes and he was out again. This time I took him to bed with me and, miracle of miracles, he slept for 2 more hours! I felt bad for the babysitter because I knew he'd be completely off schedule. She seemed to cope without a problem though.

Today he woke at 5:15 and I went through pretty much an identical routine sans the formula spillage. He slept until 7:45 and might have gone longer, but I dropped a plastic cup in the kitchen. Oh well. Gigi reported that he took his same naps, just an hour and a half later on average. He seemed happy when I got home and I guess he was all day for the most part. I just put him down at his normal time, so that hasn't changed. Maybe we have a new schedule?

Dinner consisted of blueberries (new food), pasta, cheese, and carrots. He's waving more often now which makes me think he's trying to get a handle on the signs for "mommy" and "daddy" since you basically wave your hand in front of your face. Not sure if it's wishful thinking or not.
