11pm-6:30am

Yes, that is how long Addi slept last night. But did I get that much sleep? Of course not. I was up at 3:30am (the normal time Addi wakes up), thinking she'll be up any time now. I think I got up every 15-20 minutes after that until she finally woke up at 6:30. Luckily, Clark got up with her for a little bit, then put her back down at 8am, and then she slept until 11am. Good Job, Addilyn. Let's hope this continues and is not just her teasing me. Now I have to think about why she slept through the night. Was it because she's ready and going to do it more often? Was it because last night she wouldn't nurse on the right side after eating for 8 minutes on the left side, so I gave her a 2 oz. bottle of formula to top her off? Or was it just a fluke thing? Whatever it was, it gives me hope that in the near future I will once again get more than 3-4 hours of sleep in a row. Cheers!

Oooo! I hope she's not just playing with you and will do it again tonight! My luck is never that good! I guess she is getting close to that age where she might do it though, still a little young for my kids!

Wow! Maybe it's cuz of the Babywise that you've been doing? Good luck in the future. Zach goes 10 hrs without eating now but wakes up wanting his binky or wants to be swaddled again (it gets cold in our place), so I'm still up once or twice a night helping him. I guess I could let him cry it out, but he goes right back to sleep after I wrap him and pop his binky back in, so it doesn't bother me too much. How's her tongue doing with breastfeeding?

I hope this continues. I don't know how you function on 3-4 hours of sleep. Good luck, and keep us updated. Be sure to put more pictures of her on your blog...I want to see how she is growing.

I know that feeling. My kids were so unpredictable that I finally learned to just sleep through feedings. :) I hope it's for real for you. That would be a good night's sleep for a nursing mom.

Thanks everyone! Addi slept again from 11pm to 6am this past night. Of course, I gave her an extra ounce of formula after I nursed her last night. She's doing really good. She nurses a lot better. She's growing so fast. I think she weighs between 10 and 11 pounds now. She's starting to fill our her 0-3 month clothes and she's only 7 weeks old. I didn't really bring many bigger clothes, so I hope she doesn't get too big too fast. We come home on her 3 month birthday.

Chuck E. Cheese & Hannah's Arm

First, my apologies for the not so great pictures at Chuck E. Cheese.  I'm still trying to figure out photography indoors without a great flash. Man, Chuck E. Cheese has been around forever.  I remember going there when I was a kid.  In fact, I just remembered that I have a picture of my sister's birthday party from there.  I think I was 10 or so at the time.  (I'm on the right, my friend Katie on the left.) I'm pretty sure that is the very same Chuck E. Cheese that my kids just went to last week.  How scary is that? Anyway, Clark's brother had a deal for food and what seemed like a million tokens at Chuck E. Cheese, so he wanted to take my kids.  Our nephew was in town as well, so it was a good time for my kids to spend time with him. Here are a few pics from that night: Sammy at the wheel.  My kiddos with Uncle Andy and cousin Zander.  Zander, Kimball, and Sammy  Addi Joy  Kimball's really into basketball lately.  He...

Catch Up, Part 2

These events aren't in chronological order. They're just in the order of the way the pictures uploaded to the post. House & Yard: After four years of living in this house, we've finally gotten around to finishing the yard. We built this house, so we had to start from scratch. We were doing a little at a time. Every year when we'd get our taxes back, we'd do something big on the yard. This year we decided to bite the bullet and just get the rest finished, and I am so glad we did. We had grass in the back, but that was it. No fence, no playground, no trampoline, no borders, no patio. Here's what the back of the house looked like before: We knew we always wanted a deck, so we finally had our neighbor build us one. When it was almost finished, our boys didn't like to go out on the deck because their feet got too hot (it's west facing). So we decided to have our neighbor add a roof to the deck. We are so glad we did. He did an awesome job and it looks gr...

The Best Train Track Ever

By -

Kimball was off playing with cousins today. So, while Addi took her nap, Sammy and I bonded creating the greatest train track we've ever built. It took quite a bit of time and a lot of patience on Sammy's part (which he had a lot of), but we conquered. Here is our masterpiece: We love these Fisher Price trains. We have four that use remotes (as you can see in the close-up of Sammy), and Sammy got the plane this year for Christmas. I'll tell you, I have as much fun if not more than the boys when playing with these trains. They have been worth every penny we've spent on them. I love this picture of Sammy. It shows his mild case of OCD. He has to have all the train remotes nicely lined up for easy access. So cute. By the time we finished creating the track, we didn't have much time left for playing. We had only enough time to learn that we need five people manning the trains and plane in order to keep them from crashing. Oh, but it sure was fun.
