Give Me The Night
Last night was an attempt to get Amy more than 2 consectuive hours of sleep in order to maintain some semblance of sanity. Our plan was to have her give Wyatt a good old fashioned "tankin' up" at his last 9/10pm ish feeding, then, go upstairs and sleep through the next one. For the next one, or maybe even 2 feedings, I'd give the little man a bottle while we were in the downstairs bedroom, and, we'd sleep together while mom caught some much needed shut-eye upstairs.
Mission semi-accomplished!!!
We put Wyatt down at 9:45, upon which, I promptly joined him in bed. He didn't wake up until about 12:45...so a 3 hour stretch of sleep is great! I gave him a bottle, of which, he slowly sipped out less than half, and eventually passed right back out. After I fed him, I held him upright for the customary 30-ish minutes to try to keep things down (reflux is a bummer, dude!), and just stared at him all sleepy-fied on my legs. He looked so peaceful and happy, and, really was feeling good! so, we hit the hay again at about 1:30, and, low and behold, we hear the floor creaking.Yep...mom came downstairs to join us! She was able to get some sleep, which was nice, but, she, of course, missed us and wanted to sleep with us instead. It was super fun for me to hang with him at that quiet & delicate hour! Can't wait to do it again.

shiny happy people
a wise friend and mom (this would be you, tahiti) once told me that just at the point when you're about ready to throw the baby out the window, then they finally smile. and while wyatt has never been in danger of a window toss, it is tough to give and give with no visible return on your investment.well i am happy to report that as we hit the 6 week mark, we finally have a happy, smiley dude (well, sometimes). we're so relieved to see that wyatt is happy here, and that he does actually like us. and interestingly, he's most smiley in the mornings - a trait he most certainly didn't inherit from his mother...
stay tuned for a video of some documented smiling...i feel a montage comin on.

Today
I am thankful for:
1. A generous wife that consistently puts her family's needs before hers
2. The smile my son gave me this morning on the changing table
3. The tear of joy in my eye when I stood in the doorway this morning watching my wife & child sleep
