Sleep............

I was all proud of myself with Em. The kid slept for 10 hours at 7 1/2 weeks old and has never looked back (unless sick). I knew part of it was a blessing from God (what with moving, moving, moving again and all the travel in between) but I also thought it meant Todd and I were doing something right. Boy was I wrong!

We did all the same stuff with Cooper, but in true Cooper-form, he must do things on his terms, in his time, and in his own way... which usually means with Mom right next to him. Last night, he woke up a few hours after being put down screaming like I'd just chopped off his pinky toe and was inconsolable the better part of an hour. Tonight, he decided that a 15-minute power-nap was all he needed (after flat refusing a morning nap). I would be totally convinced this kid was switched at the hospital... if he were born in a hospital... and didn't look exactly like his daddy...
Does this look like the face of someone who is tired? I thought not.

With Sissy away, I have the run of the place, and the toys! I NEVER get this book!!!
Hey, that flashing thing you have Mom looks like LOADS of fun! Do it again, I like the stars I see afterwards :)

You have a "night person" on your hands! -ha ... And, yes -- they didn't get him mixed up - He's looks just like his dad! So innocent! :-)
