SUCCESS!!
We are – what – 8 days in? And I don’t want to jinx anything, but Stephen has been sleeping through the night for the last 3 days. 9pm to 6am. For the most part. He does get a little fussy here and there, but he settles back down pretty quickly. And putting him to bed is a breeze. When he’s tired and ready, he usually cries for about 2 minutes and then just lets it happen. Who would have ever thought??
The only challenge I’ve had is his 3:00 nap. Boy oh boy. It makes him mad when I put him in that crib!! The longest it’s taken him to calm down is 30 minutes. That happened twice. And I almost pulled him out, thinking maybe he wasn’t tired after all… But then he fell asleep and slept for 2 hours! So I think we are on the right track.
Besides the sleeping thing (which is a BIG DEAL for us, obviously) we are just busy with life. Getting excited for the holidays! Working a lot! (See my photo blog for all the fun stuff I’ve been up to.) Watching this boy grow and grow!
Exactly one year ago today, I looked like this:
Can’t believe this insane year is almost over…
