It's BED Time

Mommy and Daddy finally got comfortable with the thought that our little man could make it through a night in his nursery, under full remote supervision of our sophisticated collection of baby monitors that would make the UK government proud – full audio, video, and physical motion detection all with associated alarms should something go wrong. As many parents can testify, this was a tough transition – but a necessary one if we were to get enough sleep to avoid physical shutdown (more so for Sheri who was sleeping next to the Moses basket and was more susceptable to the little grunts and noises – think Beevis and Butthead only really cute!)

He is averaging 3 hours between feeds during night time hours, occasionally stretching to 4 hours… and has been super active during the days, which is great for dad who fits some playtime in before work and is happy to takeover duties in the evenings (diapers, burping, and baths, oh my!). In addition to the normal routine, he does offer up the occasional surprise wake up at 5am demanding special attention – ie. we bring him into our room for some snuggle time before admitting defeat and getting out of bed at six.

We’re closing in on his one month birthday (where did the time go) – which will hopefully celebrate with lots of playtime and naptime with rumors of a photoshoot for our month-by-month frame. So be assured that more photos and videos are inbound to the blog and Flickr (we have been sneaky new photos onto Flickr without associating with a blog post – so if it’s been a week without a post, keep an eye on Flickr). For some reason posting photos is much more convenient than writing creative and witty comments.

Special congratulations to Nadia and Katie who both gave birth last night to beautiful babies! Aiden has so many friends he can’t wait to meet.
