Sleep!

We have been really lucky with Jack.  He is a good baby and puts up with a lot.  The one thing that has been less than desirable is the fact that Jack does not seem to appreciate sleeping at night as much as his father and I do.  He rests well during the day and then when the sun goes down he doesn't seem to want to sleep anymore...unless he is laying on one of our chests.  When he does sleep at night, he will sleep for 3-4 hour stretches.  Now, we are not complaining by any means.  We know that some people have it much worse and we are very appreciative of our awesome little boy.

Last night seems to have been a turning point for Jack - he had an awesome night!  I fed him at 10:30 pm and then got him in his bassinet a little after 11 and he quietly went to sleep.  He didn't wake up again until 3:30 am this morning.  I then fed him again and he went back down in his bassinet for another 3.5 hours! It was wonderful.  The only bad thing is that I had a hard time going to sleep after putting him down for fear that he would wake up and I would have to get up again.  Let's hope we are on the back end of his not wanting to sleep at night!
