8 hours and a Giggle...What more could I ask for?

Benny Boy ate at 7:30 last night. He went to bed around 9:30....when Pat and I were ready for sleep too. We fully expected that around 11:30 we would be up for a feeding...but low and behold little Benny Boy did not make a peep until 3:30 this morning. I have done the math several times in my head thinking "He could not really have gone eight hours could he???@!!" But yes indeedy...7:30 to 3:30 is eight hours. Every time I post his "Great Sleeping" milestones on the blog he seems to hear me and remember that he likes to eat at night...and digression happens. But even if it is one step back for every two steps forward, he is definitely moving towards sleepless nights. Yay Ben!

I took the day off today to spend some mommy kiddo time and I am remembering fondly my days of maternity leave. It's so nice to be home during the day...to be there for all of his bottles and burps and even his poops. Today he even gave me a giggle. I was not even doing anything funny. I was just talking to him and there it was a little laugh. His smiles are so cute and I cannot wait to see more of these little laughs. His personality is starting to emerge. Tomorrow is back to work, but even having one day in the middle of the week to be home makes a big difference. Now we are off to Costco...
