January 25, 2012 - Awake All Day

But he's so cute when he's awake, right?

Well, my little man is now officially out of the sleepy newborn phase.  Yesterday he woke up to eat around 8:00 and aside from a half hour snooze, didn't sleep until dad got home at 4:00.  He had a two hour nap and then was up again until we finally made him go to sleep at 9:00 or so.  And by made him go to sleep I mean laid him down and let him cry.  He usually goes down without much fuss, but now he's getting older and has a mind of his own.  It was pretty tough for me to hear him cry, but I know it will be better for me and him in the long run.  Thanks to my dear friend Peggy for helping me to sit there and let him be while the tears ran down my cheeks!
