Bassinet Success

In the past week we've actually gotten Jake to sleep in his bassinet. Now that he's got his own little nest, Jake's been sleeping better and longer. He usually goes down at around 9 pm, after his bath, a feeding and some amount of fussing. The poor little guy has a hard time falling asleep when he's tired. The great thing is, he wakes up just one time during the night, at around 3:30 am, and then wakes again at 7 or so. Having so many hours of uninterrupted sleep has done wonders for all of us! He also takes a couple of naps during the day. Babies have to sleep quite a lot. So do parents!

Jake going from this...



...to this.



Sometimes he smiles in his sleep. Sweet dreams for baby!

Repeating the lost post -

Love these pictures. It's great to see the two of enjoying Jake so much. And he's is clearly having a good time too.

Magic time, changes every day. Enjoy it! Look forward to seeing more pictures, and you too!

Love, Graham/Dad/Granddad

@David: I've heard that uncles named Jonah need the most sleep of all...

@Graham: It truly is a magic time. Without exaggeration, every day that I wake up and look at him for the first time he looks different than when I went to sleep. It's crazy, it feels like he's becoming older and wiser literally before our eyes.

And that "older and wiser before our eyes" never changes!

Jake has great parents!
