The Day is Finally Here!!

Well, for at least one night anyways. I know I know.... two posts in three days is pretty untypical for us so far! But last night and yesterday were monumental for us as parents and of course for Colin.

He SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! We put him down at 8:45 and he didn't wake up until 5:15. Eight and a half hours baby!!!! Of course Abigail and I couldn't fully enjoy it, as it was blistering hot last night and we both woke up numerous times at like 2am & 3am amazed that he hadn't woken up yet.

We think he slept through the night because he FINALLY is taking longer day naps. Thank you so much for your prayers! He had been sleeping for only 30 minutes at a time during the day, and then his "internal" clock would wake him up. Two days ago he took a 2 hour nap in his crib which amazed us, but yesterday his naps were 45 minutes, 2 hours, 1 hour, and 1 hour!!! They say for babies, good sleep = better sleep. Oh, and the final part of that equation = HAPPY PARENTS!!!!! haha

He will be 12 weeks old tomorrow, and we are so excited that he is making such good progress. Of course on Saturday we are taking him to Northern VA where his schedule will get all messed up. Oh well.... little victories!


Here is a pic of what Colin "used" to think of naps!!! haha
