New Pictures Up

I finally posted a bunch of pictures up on Flickr (the link is on the right) and there are some cute photos!

I have a few new videos I have to upload, but I think with the HD, it may take some time!

Michael went to bed SUPER early today after a rocky sleep weekend. Though he slept all the way through the night, from 7pm to 7am on Friday night, Saturday was not such a great sleep day, which meant Saturday night was not such a great sleep night.

You see, sleep is kind of a strange thing for babies....the more they get, the better they sleep ("sleep begets sleep") and the more tired they get, the worse they sleep. So it's not like a baby who doesn't nap will just sleep better at night. That's rarely the case....rough sleep days typically mean rough sleep nights, which then yield rough sleep days....it's a crazy cycle!!

I am hoping his super early bed time with be a way for him to reset the cycle tomorrow and get a good day's rest.

Well, it's a process and I'm seeing improvements, so just because we had a rocky couple of days doesn't mean it's not working...it just takes time to settle into a good routine. Unfortunately, Sundays are kind of rough days since we have Mass right during his nap time, and then I had RCIA right afterward, which meant he went from 6:00 am (yeah, he was up early) to 12pm without more than a few very brief catnaps. Yikes! Poor kid. I spend all this time training him to sleep in his bed, and now that is the only place he really can sleep!

So, here's to tonight and tomorrow, and hoping that going to sleep at 5 PM doesn't make him wake up at 5 am!
