I love sleep

I really do love sleep a lot. It would probably be in my top 3 favorite things to do. I could sleep all day long if I got the chance. When we got married I really wanted a nice bed, so we got a nice mattress from Macy's (a huge step up from my Ikea one!), and with wedding money we got really nice sheets (DKNY maybe?). Four years later I still love them. I spend a lot of time in bed. When Judah naps Cohen and I usually hang out in there. Wow. I sound pretty lazy now that I am typing this all out. Oh, well. Moving onto my point of this post...

COHEN SLEPT 10 HOURS STRAIGHT LAST NIGHT!!!

This is what I've been waiting for! Judah slept through the night really early on. I think by 6 weeks he was doing 8 hour stretches and then at 5 months he dropped his early morning bottle. (5-6 a.m. thats time to get up for some people. not in our house.) Cohen was doing 6 hour stretches for awhile and then went back to eating every 3-4 hours. I understand that is normal for his age...but Judah really set the bar high for his little brother. Lets hope last night wasn't just a fluke.

Cohen is still sleeping in the bassinet in our room. At the foot of the bed, I finally moved him out of arms reach. :) Justin is ready for him to make the move to his crib in his own room. I know it needs to happen, but I'm not ready for it. If he keeps sleeping like he did last night then I will definitely move him. It's just so much easier for night time feedings to have him in our room.

I will leave you with 2 pictures



(judah now climbs under his crib to get his larry's that have fallen. he was going to play in the snow and thought he needed all his larry's with him!)

I can't believe your kids sleep so good! none of jenny's kids have slept thru the night until they were around a year old.

You are so lucky, I wish my kids would sleep like that.

Oh and Landon climbed out of his crib this morning and came into the room to wake us up. Thats a first.

I miss sleep. I love to sleep when ever I get the chance but my kids don't sleep much at all so right now sleep is not something I get a lot of. I've gotten to sleep through one night of sleep (8 hrs) once weeks for the last few weeks.
