February 26, 2012 - Hanging with Dad

We had a really good day today. I don't want to jinx anything, but Brig is starting to get a bit of a routine and I am starting to get a little bit of confidence in being a mommy.  Had a good time at church.  Joe came home and had a pretty long nap.  Well deserved, I must say, given his nighttime contributions this weekend.  We went over to Suelzle's for dinner and when we got home, Brig was wide awake and we got these really cute pictures.  We've been working on Brigham's routine and things have been going well.  We decided to try to get him through the night tonight.  We weren't going to try until the weekend, but it went well.  I went to bed around 9:30.  Joe woke Brig up at 10:30 and fed him.  I guess he was a bit of a sleepy head and Joe had to try pretty hard to get him to eat.  So he went down around 11:30 and slept until 4:30.  That's a good 5 hours.  He cried at 4:30 and we left him, he only cried for 5 minutes and then slept again until 5:30.  I tried to leave him again, hoping he'd get to 6:30 but he cried for 20 minutes before I finally got up and fed him at 6:00.  I thought he would eat like a champ, but he didn't too much.  Had a good little eat and some awake time before he was back off to sleep.  Then we drove Aunt Hilly and Uncle Mike and Ethan to the airport.  What a good boy I have!
