Gotta love...

this amazing weather we're having! Nicholas has been better with sleeping, although when he's awake he's a bit more of a crabby ass. He has states of "quiet alertness" as they call it, but then he gets over it, gets crabby, wants food, and wants sleep. I'm starting to learn his "signs" better and that makes me feel better, so I can kind of figure out what he wants. Last night Nick put him to bed around 11 - we now let him sleep until he wakes up wanting food (the pediatrician suggested it) so he woke up around 3:45 and then at 6:45. It was amazing to get up at 6:30 and he was still sleeping - here's a shot of that:

I went downstairs, got a bottle ready, let Dexter out and fed him, and then the "little monster" (as we affectionately call him) was up and ready to go. But it was a great night of sleep for him (and us:) in my opinion. We have a pretty quiet weekend which is nice, it seems as though the calendar is starting to fill up again and the thought just makes me exhausted. My friend Alisha is coming over Sunday and I'm looking forward to seeing her and having her meet Nicholas for the first time. My dad is here until Sunday and it's been great watching him with Nicholas as well.
