Our little sleeper, well sort of!

I never thought that we would get here but finally we have "mastered" a bedtime routine for our little man!  It has now been about two months where Grant goes to bed around 6/6:30 and will sleep until the next morning around 6am.  However, this twelve hour sleeping routine is not quiet in what it seems.  Grant still wakes up once or twice a night but this is a 100% improvement from his hourly wake-ups!  I will take the few wakes up over the hourly wake ups any day.  Fingers crossed that he soon learns that once a night is the better than twice.  Lately, Grant has been waking up around 4am and I walk into to his room to get him and he is smiling the biggest gummy grin!  I fall deeper in love even at 4am!  After I nurse him in our room I will take him back to his room where he just smiles and laughs when I put him down.  I remind Grant that it is the middle of the night and momma needs her beauty sleep so he needs to go back to sleep.  I then go back to our room and I hear Grant sing himself to sleep.  I can't help but smile laying in bed and listen to him sing!  I look forward to him being a better sleeper but for now I am enjoying every second of those gummy midnight smiles!!!
