Well, it finally happened! Drumroll please.... My little man finally slept through the night!! I'm ecstatic! Everyone we ever talked to always went on and on about the "magical" three month age of a baby and how normally by then they should sleep through the night. I would listen and think to myself that everyone was just teasing me because they knew how desperate I was for one night of uninterrupted sleep. Well, his three month birthday was on Wednesday. It came and went and he still had one feeding at night so I was a little skeptical. Then by Thursday night all my worries were put at ease! Woohoo!! That night, I kept waking up in anticipation of him getting up and even thought maybe I missed his cries, but nope, my little guy made it until the morning without waking up. I walked into his room and he was so happy to see me (every morning he smiles and giggles a little and his feet go up in down with joy as if he's trying to jump around lol). You have no idea how happy this makes me. When you have a child that is not sleeping through the night, you sit and wonder if he ever will. You listen and read horror stories of kids who still do not sleep thru the night until they are over a year old and that puts a notion of shear fear in your mind. Now I can go forward with one less thing to worry about and I am so proud of my little CP!
In other baby news, we weighed Chase unofficially (me standing on a scale and then standing with him to determine his weight) and he weighs a whopping 15 1/2 pounds. To put this in perspective, my book says he should weigh around 12 pounds... I'm actually proud of how much bigger and longer he is. I hope it's a sign that he will be tall like his dad (and with our genetics, he has a shot)! Also, my little cutie has learned to blow bubbles with his spit and let me tell you, this is a messy little habit because we have to change outfits or wear a bib constantly. The joys of little boys! Like any parent, I love every single one of his new discoveries and this one is especially fun and I cannot WAIT for what he learns to do next!
