Sleeping Patterns


Well, James maintains his sleeping pattern of approximately two hours of sleep during the traditional sleeping times and approximately sixteen hours of sleep during traditional waking hours.  While this pattern is wreaking havoc with his parents' sleep schedule, he seems quite content.  To be fair, some of the nighttime awake thing is my fault.  When James wakes up to eat, we feed him, the burp him, and then hold him in some sort of upright position for twenty to thirty minutes to minimize reflux.  Almost inevitably, somewhere during that process, James both falls asleep, and he switches to his somewhat secret identity (ThunderPants) and requires changing.  So, the question becomes change him and wake him up, or let him sleep and slowly marinate in his own excrement.  I can't help myself; I have to change him.  So, it's partly my fault he doesn't do enough sleeping.  Alas.  On the up side, at least he's still adorable, no matter the time of day.

So happy to hear from you guys! James is absolutely adorable. Thank you for sharing your journey! Just a recap as I read the whole blog - yes Pampers are our choice as well...Can't wait to schedule a play date! ( I know that seems scary and impossible right now) Thanks for the blast from the past! (OK I know she's just 10 months old...) Take lots of pictures you'll be happy you did...
