How is it November already?

I'm still dreading my return to work on Monday, but thems the breaks I suppose.

Good news to report though, on Thursday night Jake slept from 10pm until 4:30am. I thought maybe it was just a fluke, but we've been working on this "becoming baby wise" schedule all week and some days it was pretty tough so part of me wanted to believe after these last few days maybe he was finally starting to get it...well I'm happy to say that last night he slept from 11pm until 6am!! Yes!! I couldn't believe it when I got up this morning...even when Chris got up for work he said "this is the first time he was up all night???". He's also been taking a 3 to 3.5 hour nap in the morning and trying to get one in the afternoon - though when we're out and about he takes a few shorter naps instead. It's been glorious and we have Carrie to thank for lending us the book to get us going on this method....I hope the streak continues!!

Also, this morning when I went to retrieve Jake from his bed (with much energy since I had so much sleep too) he had scooted all the way to the top of the matress!! Needless to say, once he got out of bed for a little while I promptly removed the bumpers...it doesn't seem like the same little baby crib anymore, but it's exciting to realize the kind of progress he's making every day!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!

I left Alana's bumpers on until she started untying them. I know, I know! I'm a bad mom. I just didn't like her head smashed up against the rails!

I am so glad he is sleeping better! Getting your own sleep is such a blessing, isn't it? Speaking of sleeping, I need a nap! Zzzzzzzz.....Too much Halloween Candy and now I'm close to comatose.
