The Sleeper (Or, Why Adlai is The Best Baby Ever)
Because I lamented our lack of sleep a few days ago, it should be mentioned that Adlai has been waking only once, for a 2 am nursing, for the past two nights. This is great stuff. We credit this change to forcing him to put himself to sleep from a completely awake state. He hates this but, hey, it works. It's also possible he agrees with his brother and mother that stomach sleeping is super comfortable. In any case, our sanity has almost returned. If you want to trick us into making stupid decisions, now would be the time; a few days from now we may be too well rested.

It seems to me that Simon was much older before you started making him put himself to sleep. It probably says in his blog, but I'm too lazy to look.

You're right! We were terrified when the doctor told us (at our 4 month appointment) that we would need to start putting Simon to sleep awake by 6 months -- this time we knew it wasn't torture and it WAS going to work. We actually have been working on it for Adlai since the very beginning. WE LOVE SLEEP!
