Sleeping Through the Night?

You slept so long last night that I woke up concerned at 5:11 this morning. Have we turned over a new leaf? Have we officially started the big "Sleeping Through the Night?" I guess we'll find out tonight if it was a fluke or not. All I know is that your father was very happy you did that - he got out of the "crappy" feeding you usually have at 3:45 every morning. You slept until 7:15 this morning. How exciting!

You've been a whole different baby personality-wise the last week or so. You've started licking things: your lips, the Baby Bjorn, your rattle. You have also been talking to anything out there that will listen! You babble incessantly in the carrier, on the changing table, and at night you are a chatty Cathy! We must be hearing about your day and all your interests so far, but I have yet to decipher the foreign language known as "baby-ese."

Your curiosity seems to know no bounds. We see you staring at everything around you - especially on walks. You love to look at the light coming through the trees and at the different people who pass us by on the sidewalk. You are mesmerized by your toys: that little caterpillar rattle is your best friend. You grab at it and stare like it's the awesomest thing in the world. You are entertained forever with it.

You are waking up from your midmorning nap. You have that nap and a small midafternoon nap. Occasionally, you cat nap around 6pm at night.

I guess we'll see what tonight brings us... hopefully another "Sleep Through the Night!"
