More Sawyer

Sawyer is already 5 weeks old! He was weighed yesterday and came in at 10 pounds 2 ounces. Apparently he isn't starving. He is sleeping well in his crib at nights. He goes to bed at 8pm and usually wakes up 2 times per night to eat and gets up at 8am. Hazen has been busy with work and will be working Monday-Saturday this week and next week. Will be slowing down slightly after that. Other than that we have just been loving our new life.

Success!!!

Our friend Tera brought us a book that she said we had to read. It is called "The Sleep Solution". It is a sleep training book and talks about how to get your baby to sleep 12 hours a night by 12 weeks old. There are several steps to go through and we haven't really started the training yet. However, Sawyer has never slept in his crib at night. He always has to be with one of us and sleeping in the recliner. I wanted to get him to sleep in his crib before we started the training. There was some really good advice in this book though about getting them to sleep. So we tried it out last night. It was amazing! He slept the whole night in his crib and I only had to get up a couple times to feed him and get him back to sleep. I hope we can do the same tonight.

On a separate note, Mallory came to visit the weekend before last. We had a great time with her and we think she had an amazing time getting to meet her nephew.
