Shhhhh....baby sleeping!

I probably shouldn't say a word. So I'll whisper. Parker has slept through the night for four of the past five nights (and the one night he made it until 4:30). He's 11 weeks old. Thomas didn't sleep through the night until he was 11 MONTHS old. I'm not kidding. However, the difference is something that might mean Parker will have a greater need for an orthodontist. You see, when he sleeps through the night, this is why:


The only bad thing is that I've had to change his sheets daily lately (as you can see, nasty as it is, in the picture above). His diapers can't seem to hold up to sleeping 10-11 hours straight. But I'll take a daily sheet change over waking up in the middle of the night any day!



Even me taking these pictures around 7 yesterday didn't stir him. And this morning, I'm going to have to go get him up in a moment because he quite obviously is in need of a diaper change. I hear him sucking hard on his finger right at this very moment. Let's hope this fabulous behavior continues!

The thumb is what did it for Lily. At that point, I didn't care how much braces cost - it was worth it for a full night's sleep. James said that Parker knew you deserved that 11 hours. Yeah Parker.
