ZZzzzz

Last night was Eli's first time to sleep through the night. He slept from 9:00-5:45 and then went back down until 10:00 this morning. I had been staying up until 11:00-12:00 at night, waking him up, feeding him, and then putting him to bed. My philosophy was that it was easier for me to only have to get up once than to have to get up multiple times. After weeks of doing this, it was getting tiresome and seemingly counterproductive. Mark kept encouraging me to put him to bed earlier so that I could get more sleep, even if I did have to get up more. So, I decided to give it a try. The first night, he slept 5 1/2 hrs. A good change since he'd been sleeping around 4 - 4 1/2 hrs. The second night he slept 6 hrs. The third he slept 7 hrs. 15 minutes, and last night he slept all night with a whopping 8 hrs. 45 minutes. Yeah!! To commemorate the occasion, I took a picture.

This is what a good night's sleep looks like.
