He’s cute and cuddly and his laugh is contagious, but…
He now thinks it’s funny to pull Mommy’s hair. Before, he would caress and “pet” it, but as of yesterday he gave it a good tug and thought it was the funnest thing ever! So, he did it over and over and over…
My hair will now be in a ponytail for the next 6 or so months, get used to seeing me in one hairstyle only people!

Also, I was just bragging that he is finally sleeping through the night. That he has been going down from around 7:30pm and getting up between 5:30 to 6am and then going back down after a bottle for another hour or so…
THIS WAS AWESOME!
Was is the key word in the last sentence. He is back to getting up between 3am and 4am. This would be fine, but the last two nights he actually wanted to get “up” for the day. Let’s get up and go, he said in his baby ways. He was so noisy and fussy about going to bed after his early morning bottle that I had to go back in his room and comfort him back to a sleepy state…Three hours of my sleep gone.
When no one sleeps well through the night because of him and then in the morning Brook decides to sleep in, I let her. We are always late to her school because of this and I am sure the teacher hates me for it, but here is the thing…
I need my sleep! So do the kids. I figure she is a better student while she is there because she is well rested and I am less of a psycho Mommy because sometimes Blake doesn’t just wake me up…he wakes her up too.
You never understand the power of sleep until you are a parent and then after that it seems like your world is really only about sleep. Well that and poop.
On another thought…if you were like me and up around 4am last night, did you see the moon? Here it was beautiful! It was a crescent moon, but it was very large and so bright that you could see the outline of the rest of it. Also, there was a planet on it’s left which was just as big and bright. It was the highlight of my 4am wake up call.
Well, he can always sleep through tonight, we will see.
