Long time, no post and now that Miles is sleeping through the night, I can no longer claim sleep deprivation as an excuse. And with him getting more delicious every day, it is almost a crime not to share his advancements with his fans. So with that, his blog is back.
I'll start with an update on the last ...ummm 2.5 months since the last post. At 5 months corrected (7 months actual), Miles is close to 15 pounds and thriving. Last visit to the doctor, she said there are no outward signs he was a preemie. Yeh! He is rolling over, grabbing for anything that comes close to him (mom's hair and glasses are favorites), babbling constantly and my personal favorite, laughing.
As I mentioned, he is sleeping through the night which came just in the nick of time. Before that, he went through what only moms will tell you is the 4-month regression. Basically the sleep habits you have learned to manage (only one wake up a night), turn into wake up calls every 2 hours. Your previous horror at the thought of letting your child cry it out evolves into an appreciation and question why you didnt try it months ago. Maybe Miles is just that smart but he chose that very moment to progress and within three nights was sleeping from 7;45 pm to 6:30 am. Even if he wakes up, say at 4 am, he puts himself right back to sleep without even a cry. And when he wakes up at 6:30 am, we only hear happy cooing. When we go in to get him, his face lights up into the most perfect smile - he too likes a full nights sleep!
