Sheer brilliance


PSHAH - My sister tried to feed me some line about not being an expert on babies. I was suspicious that she knew more than she was letting on. After all, she's survived two kids, and from the background noise I can hear when we talk on the phone, they are healthy, thriving, and active.

I asked some questions, got some advice, and as a result my child went from waking up every 3-4 hours at night to sleeping a 9 hour stretch last night. In case you weren't impressed enough, let me repeat: NINE HOURS. For those who haven't recently had the experience of getting up at 1:30 AM for an hour and again at 4:30 AM for an hour, let me assure you that 9 hours is heaven-sent!

This picture is worth enlarging. It's such a peaceful moment! Once you've enlarged it, you may notice that Naomi has found her thumb!

Sleep is such a wonderful thing. I swear my kids get 10% cuter just by being asleep.

It's actually 50% better, not just 10%.

She's sucking her left thumb just like Matthew did. She's adorable.

Val,

Please elaborate on "some advice." We want 9 hours too, or even 7 or 5!!! BTW, love your site!
