Something was odd this morning when my wife elbowed me in the ribs to get up and get a bottle going. The odd feeling is best described as not feeling like crap and that I didn't really have to pry open my eyes as we have twice a night, every night, since November 16th, 2007.
The answer to this unexplained feeling smacked me in the head when my eyes focused on the alarm clock. 7:00 A.M. Damn.
Now, my wife tells me it's considered sleeping "all night" if your baby sleeps five hours or longer. Though Max has met that goal a few times, it hasn't really felt like he's slept "all night" until now. Most nights (mornings) we're usually up at 4 or 5 A.M., stumbling around the dark upstairs to warm a bottle, and then propping our eyelids open so we don't fall over and smother the poor kid while feeding him.
Do we dare say Max made it through the night? Do we dare rest our hopes and dreams of yawn-free days and sleep-filled, dreamy nights on the fact our boy made it "all night" without gently waking his parents and oh-so-politely asking for meal?
Maybe it's still just an exercise in patience. (I'm sure our parents could graciously elaborate on that last sentence.)

Yippee!! New pictures :)
Ummmmm, after totally enjoying the newest video of Max trying to find his thumb, ( and watching it about 6 times in a row...) I'm curious as to whether or not anyone else had their mouth open (looking like an idiot) trying to help him "get it in"??

For heaven's sake. Why didn't his parents help him. The grandmas are going to have to step in. Isn't he cute!!!!!
By the way Corey and Annie...if you think he keeps you awake now just wait until he's out at night with the car. You'll wish he was in the bassinet beside you. Mom ML
Nanny was a thumb sucker.
Let me at him!! :)
And Cor, remember during the teen years and curfews, in the spring when we set the clocks ahead...do it BEFORE he gets home.
Ahhhhh the memories :)
