Sleep

I don't think I've ever appreciated sleep more than I do now. It's been almost a year and Jackson has slept through the night (meaning 10 hrs) a maximum of 50 times... and that's being generous. He doesn't wake up multiple times every night, but with teething and learning how to put himself back to sleep, I can easily say that it's been our greatest challenge so far as parents. We aren't complaining though because he does take naps and is such a great kid. So you'd think we would take naps when he does or go to sleep as soon as he does so we can get our sleep in right? Nope. As soon as he's down, we are eating dinner, catching up on tv, talking on the phone, emailing, exercising...the list goes on and on. So in honor of sleep - here's the sweetest picture...taken just the other morning when I walked into Jackson's room - they were still tired I guess :)

Been ages since I've checked the site (I am terrible!) but I love it and the updates. And to Sleep - i echo your sentiments exactly!! Chicago was by far the worst - while also being her 1st bday - up too many times at night to mention. But I blame it on the uncomfortable surrounds. Anyway, we are still working on it - I dont think we've had ANY 10 hour spells, but a bunch of 6-7 hour stints perhaps. I have pretty much lost hope that I will ever achieve REM sleep again! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all! Sorry we didnt get to hook up in Chi.
