8:30 till 8 something

Hi

In my Dear So and So I said how Aaron had fallen asleep at 8:30 two nights in a row which just isn't like him at all but was mucho appreciated.

Those two nights were Wednesday night and Thursday night.

Then Friday night he slept from 8 till 9 on my knee and before I put him down woke up and only went to sleep after I breasfed him to sleep at 10:40.  In cot by about 11 something.

Last night wasn't in bed till about 11:30 p.m.

So I said to hubby today that we only got a glimpse (2 nights) of the 8 till 8 boy but he is back tonight....
and I think today it is because when I put him down at 3:30 for his 2 hour nap, he only slept for about 40 minutes.

Anyway, he'll be up at 8 due to this, so I need to get to bed at a reasonable time so I am ready to deal with an excited 8 month old at 8 a.m. as the day will be full on from then on.

Anyway, I want to get BACK to this blog being a log of our lives as baby and Mummy so I will be doing more posts like this (like I used to).

What is REALLY working for us, is him sleeping on his tummy.

Hi

Well I thought yesterday was the end of my sleep successes.  Aaron didn't have his daytime naps in the cot BUT..........

Last night he slept in his cot from...... drum roll.......

Midnight till 8 a.m.

I am sorry, but given the co-sleeping of recent weeks THAT is nothing short of a miracle and MUMMY SLEPT - oh boy! Mummy feels gooooooooood this morning AND we got up at 8 a.m. where usually we get up at 10, and the sky is blue and the sun is shining and life is goooooood.

How did we do it?  Well it wasn't pick up put down (Super Nanny style) and it wasn't controlled crying.  It was simply SLEEPING ON HIS TUMMY..........

I want to write so much more but right now he is asleep on my knee so it is hard.   Yes, I know I should go and put him down, but baby steps, baby steps.   :-)

Back to update... after 15 minutes asleep on my knee... I got him in the cot.  As I repositioned him in my arms he started to cry... THE SECOND he was on his tummy he stopped... bliss!

Back to update again... he fell asleep at 10 a.m. and it's now 11:04 and he is still asleep...
His morning nap is normally 40 minutes........ It must be because we got up at 8 a.m. instead of 10 right?

Back again - it is 11:40 and he is still asleep (yes I have checked on him) xx
He woke at 12:05........

Asleep in his cot this morning (still there now)
