Naps: Reed does pretty good for his naps. Most of the time he goes right to sleep when I put him down. If not, he will fuss for just a little bit before falling asleep. A few times he has woken up early, but has put himself back to sleep.
Nighttime: The first few days I was just sure Reed was going to sleep for like 7 hours straight. Not. About 2 hours into it he was up and ready to eat...and all this after crying for at least 30 minutes. Not sure this was going to work. But then Saturday night, he slept longer, and was only up ONCE during the night! WOW! I got such a good night's sleep and felt so awesome in the morning that I did my hair!!! WHAT?!?! I had forgotten what it felt like to be rested and have nice-looking hair. Sunday night rolled around, but I wasn't excited, I was thinking realistically. Reed has the knack for doing something awesome once. But Sunday night he was only up once, again! 3 great nights of sleep later, I am actually feeling optimistic. He still cries for a while before going to bed, but is only up once during the night, getting 5-6 hour stretches of sleep. AWESOME!
I hate to hear him cry, and wonder when he'll figure it out during bedtime, but I think there's progress being made.
A funny development in his sleeping:
He usually goes down like this:
The other morning, I found him like this:
Not sure how that happened. Pretty funny, though.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
