RESTED!!!

last night we had a breakthrough. Braden has had lots of trouble sleeping. At 2 months he'd sleep 3 or 4 hours at a time, then it slowly got worse. Tired of waking up to hear him yell every hour and a half finally got me mad. We put the play pen in the office last night to see what would happen. WOW! I put him down at 8pm and he woke at midnight to eat. For some reason he woke at 1:30am. I checked on him, burped him, and put him back to bed. Normally he'd lay in his crib and yell, not cry, yell. not last night. he went back to sleep until 4am when he woke to eat. I then put him back after feeding him and we heard him talk at 7:30, but he went back to sleep until 9am!!!!!! We think there's 2 reasons this worked so well. 1) he's not in our room, hearing us cough, toss & turn, whatever. 2) the office is warmer and he's not next to a window. He's opposite of Hailee, he likes to be warm when he sleeps so this was good for him. We're going to keep letting him sleep in the office until that stops working. Hopefully we'll get some projects done around the house this winter and will be able to do our conversion/remodel fall next year. Crossing our fingers on that.

and of course here's a picture! He's eating a graham cracker!
