Sleep...

Why is it that my baby is the best sleeper in my family? You would think he would be keeping me up at night. But, he is amazing at sleeping through the night. He is in bed by 10PM and I have to wake him up at 7:30AM. On the weekends, he usually sleeps in until 8AM. I love it! 9.5 hours of sleep for a 3 month old - yeah! On the other hand, Taya last night gave me a run for my money. Dawson and Taya gave up their naps when school started, which has been an adjustment but has actually been really nice to have an evening. They used to go to bed at 9:00 / 9:30. m Now they are in bed by 7:45 latest. It is so nice to have some time with Jason in the evening. Yesterday Taya fell asleep for a couple hours after some power shopping with me and I decided to let her have a rest. BIG mistake. She got out of bed 6 times until I gave up and let her watch Dora until almost midnight when she finally agreed to go to sleep in MY bed. Jason had gone to dinner and a movie with Troy Allen (I shopped all day so I figured he deserved it) and I was stuck managing sleepless Taya by myself. At least Holden slept in this morning and Dawson and Taya played nicely so Jas and I could sleep in a bit.

My sleeping baby. He loves his Miracle Blanket and wedges (http://www.miracleblanket.com/) - I swear by these, I couldn't live without them.

Taya asleep in my bed (Not for long, since I did move her to her bed moments later)

My kids playing nicely this morning while I was fast asleep (you can blame Jason for letting Dawson sleep in his undies. Now I put him to bed in PJs and by morning he is stripped down to just his undies again)

Happy baby Holden when I woke him up at 8AM this morning. He always wakes up so happy. I would too if I got that much sleep!
