day 3 was a bit rough. he slept a lot at night and in the morning and then as a result, he was not at all interested in sleeping from 3-11.
i picked up the book "babywise," on the suggestion of a friend. (thanks janelle!) and now if i could only finish reading it! i got a bit read this morning and hope to get through most of it soon.
today we are going to attempt our first family trip out of the house. we're headed to a birthday party for my aunt diane and cousins hannah and teddy. here goes nothing!

you're welcome! it can be tough in the beginning with babywise. people think you are crazy waking your kid up from a nap during the day to feed them or waking them up at their "start time," without letting them naturally wake up, but it so totally works. by 2 weeks old my kids were only getting up once in the middle of the night. they'd go down 8/8:30 and wake up around 6:30/7, waking up once around 1 or 2 to eat and then right back to sleep. naps are much harder. in fact, darbi wasn't a napping champ until about 9 months old. if you ever want to talk about it, call me please. i have a ton of friends who have done it and i'm not sure i would've been able to do it without their support and suggestions. one note, both of my kids used/use a paci. the book says not to, but it's what worked for us. jackson gave his up before he was 2 and darbi will do the same. it's not life or death if they use a paci for a while. i have some sample schedules if you are interested. i can email them or facebook them to you. take care and keep loving on that little boy. he has no idea how blessed he is just yet... - janelle
