Sleeping Through the Night!

Logan and Emma are sleeping through the night and that makes for a very happy momma! Their first official night of sleeping through was September 9th. They ate at about 9:30 that night and then slept until 6:30! I woke up around 3:30am, listened for a little bit, double checked the monitor to make sure it was on and then tried to go back to sleep. I woke up an hour or so later checked the monitor again. Not a peep! I debated going into their room to check on them but decided to hold off. Around 6:30, they started to stir. I couldn't believe they slept that long!

They've had a few nights that they've woken up at 5:00 but I'm chalking that up to a growth spurt. I have now discovered that if they do wake up early and I just wait a few minutes before getting up, they'll usually fall back asleep. The earliest they normally get up now is 7AM, but it's very common for them to sleep until 8 or 8:30. They have even slept a few times until 9 or 10! They get their last bottles between 9:30-10:30 and we put them in bed right after they eat. I know that may seem late, but I'd rather keep them up a little later at night when I'm awake then to put them down early and have them get up too early!

After their first bottle in the morning, they usually sleep at least another 2-3 hours before getting up for the day! They've become quite the little sleepers and I'm very thankful for that!

Here are my happy babies playing in their crib - ready to get up......


Here's another one of Logan stretching and Emma posing - too cute!
