Sleeping Through the Night

My darling Braedyn,

This is the first week you have slept through the night. And through the night, I don't mean any of this 5 hours and then a feeding, your down and then a feeding 5 hours later. I mean from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. sleeping through the night! You have made me so happy! I knew it would happen when you were ready, and I'm so happy it has happened before I have to go back to work...again! I think it happened because I'm giving you a little dinner at night and that holds you over. And the only reason I thought of doing that was because of a friend of a friend told me that's when her son started to sleep through the night when she started giving him 2 meals. Thank R. Well am I glad I tried that out! Mama is happy! Now if only I could sleep through the night! I seriously am going to have to retrain myself on how to do that!

As for other accomplishments there haven't been much more lately. You've rolled over...once. But you just keep growing and becoming more and more beautiful every day! I love you!

Mommy

P.S. I have way too many exclamation marks in this post!

Seriously a Slacker Mom

Okay, okay there are no excuses. Braedyn, you are now 5 1/2 months old and are just the cutest baby there is (if I may say so myself). We have started you on solids, only once a day, and the majority of it ends up on your face rather than in your mouth. You love sweet potatoes, and didn't seem to love pears very much. But we'll keep on trying. You are still not sleeping through the night, which is getting exhausting, but I'm told you'll sleep through the night when you're good and ready. I hope that's soon. You're giggling and smiling all the time and it just melts my heart. I took you to the park yesterday for the first time and had you on the swings and you loved it! Girl, I'm having the time of my life with you! This has been the best summer ever!
