This Baby Can Sleep

Holden is 5 months old and boy does he like to sleep and I love him for it! He has been going to sleep around 7:30PM and sleeping until at least 8:30AM or later. I have been waking him up to nurse him every night before I go to bed because I fear that he will wake up at some crazy early hour if I don't. But, last night, I decided to just give it a try and see how he did. He slept from 7:30PM to 8:30AM with no feedings - 13 hours. Wow! Holden is such a good baby - he has his schedule and is very predictable - eat, play, sleep. Repeat. Don't we all wish we had that schedule? I would love that schedule. He is a real joy and I love having a baby back in our house. And having a good night sleep makes all the difference! I have enjoyed him so much that I go back and forth between wanting to quit having babies while I am ahead and end on a good note (my Dad said babies are like Russian roulette - you never know what you're going to get) and wanting to have another baby just like him. We shall see...

I would be this happy too after 13 hours sleep

Holden is always sucking his hand!

13 hours? I am so jealous of both you and Holden! Maybe I should be in bed now instead of reading blogs at midnight...

He is so cute Jen, I say one more, maybe we could have even just one kid the same age. Where did you get your blog background? Super cute!

Hey Christie - you are so funny. My sister wants me to have one more for the same reason. I found this great new site for backgrounds (while thecutestblogontheblock site is down) http://www.simplychicblogs.blogspot.com/

And PS - He slept the same last night - 13 hours - no feedings. I am loving this.
