Little Sleeper

Guess who has slept for 7 hours straight the past 4 nights?!!

We thought it might be a fluke since the first night we both fell asleep before putting him in his crib and he slept in our bed with us...

(and he always sleeps better on someone or in our bed)
But nope- he did the same thing the next 3 nights in his own crib.  We are pumped!  We are still working on pushing bedtime back to 7:30/8 from 9:30/10... but we'll get there.  I'm also hoping I didn't just jinx our good luck by bragging.

He is smiling a lot, making his sweet baby noises (his 'sighs' are my favorite) and wiggling like crazy.  He loves to stand up and look out and sometimes he is only happy when doing so.  He still loves bath time, and still sleeps with his hands up by his face.

We are also working on getting him to 'put himself to sleep'... this one is a work in progress.  Usually we rock him awhile and get him nice and calm and sleepy and then put him in his crib.  He'll just hang out awake in there for 5-10 minutes, fuss and whine off and on for another 5-10 minutes and then calm back down and go to sleep.  If he starts crying, we'll go in and sooth him or rock him some more, but I'm hoping he gets the hang of our bedtime routine.

I sure love this little nugget of ours!
