Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my little guy, but these sleepless nights are getting old!! He usually will sleep a good block to begin the night and then wakes up to eat around 3 or 4 and then goes back to bed until about 6 or 7. So even though this is my 3 kiddo, my big question remains....How do you drop that middle of the night feeding? I'm trying hard to do the 3 hour feeding schedule during the day...so does it just magically happen? Help please! I'm open to any advice!
Our little Ledgen is 2 months old today! A few things about him:
~~ Fortunately we know right off the bat if he is upset....Unfortunately he lets us know this often. He has AwEsOmE lungs and knows how to use them!
~~Fortunately he is smiling a ton these days! Unfortunately I can't catch even one tiny little smirk on camera! It's amazing how fast they will change from happy to screaming mad!
~~Fortunately Ledgen loved his first football game yesterday watching the Aggies and slept all the way through. Unfortunately he was awake until after midnight.
~~Fortunately I don't think I will have to worry about trying to take a pacifier away from an 18 month old...because....UNFORTUNATELY I can't get him to take one for the life of me!
~~Fortunately he enjoys sitting in a bouncer and staring out the window. Unfortunately it only last about 10 minutes.
~~Fortunately Ledgen has two sisters that love him to death and try to be mommies little helpers all day long. Unfortunately I think Ledgen will ALWAYS have 3 mothers. I guess that could be a good thing for me??
We love our little guy and have had a blast having a little boy around. The sleepless nights are sure tricky...but definitely worth it!

That picture is adorable! What a cute little family you have. I'm no pro at the baby thing, but with mine we followed some of the techniques in the book Baby Wise. I'm not completely sold, just because we only have one and it could just be a fluke that she's a sleeper, but I can't completely discredit it either since she's slept through the night since 6 weeks. I'll just quickly summarize what we do. The first thing is to try to make sure your baby has a full feeding everytime, so he's not snacking. Then, all you do, is establish a pattern of eat, wake time and then sleep. In that order. (sometimes this didn't work with our schedule, but we always tried to do it when we could.) I wouldn't say we followed everything in the book to a T, but we tried our best to fit it into ours and Annie's schedule, and it seemed to work. Also, not sure how you feel about letting your baby cry to sleep, but we did that early on, as hard as it is, and learned that if she's still crying and awake after 10 minutes, to go in and check on her. Now. at 5 months, she seems to go down for naps pretty easily. (for the most part, she has her days). Anyway, if you haven't read Baby Wise, you could try that. They claim that most babies sleep through the night anywhere from 7-12 weeks. It worked for us. I probably should have just sent you an email, but oh well. I hope you're all doing well. I love reading about your family. Take care!
