hot and cold

The temperature out here has been all over the place....Cool morning, blistering afternoons and hot evenings. For a baby who can't change his clothes, or even tell us how the weather is affecting him, it is proving problematic.

Well not all that problematic. We have been trying to monitor his condition and keep him dressed appropriately. The biggest problem comes at night since the house is not air conditioned. In our old house, we would keep all the windows shut and let the heater or A/C keep the temperature constant.

Now...we have to keep the windows open in the early evening to cool the house down, only to end up shutting them in the middle of the night before it gets too cold. Rohan has been sleeping in much shorter increments than he did at the 2.5 month mark -- which happened to coincide with our time in Colorado.

Which then begs the question...Is he waking up more often now because he's getting cold? Or is it a growth spurt? Or maybe the high mountain air in Colorado encouraged a deeper sleep. Nevertheless, i need to find a room thermometer with some sort of an alarm tied to various temperatures settings...

I'm probably the only person in Oregon looking forward to cooler temps that necessiate us to keep the windows closed at night.
