Sleep Deprived!

Good Morning.

Jacob had an okay night. He was pretty tired by the time we got him home. He ate his dinner okay, but completely passed out right afterwards, so he was in bed by 6:15 p.m.! I often wonder if he naps at all at Chrissy's! He did get up twice last night at 10:30 PM and 3:30 AM. I am wondering if this is one of those things where he is not sleeping as well because he is just about to begin crawling. Apparently, sleep problems can occur whenever kids are about to hit developmental milestones. It is so tough because when he wakes up, he is usually not full blown crying, but rather just whiny-crying. It is enough to keep me awake though, so it is easier to get up and get him settled again with a diaper change and small bottle so we can all go back to sleep quicker! For the record, Jeff and I both get up and one changes him while the other gets the bottle, then we take turns who gets to go on back to bed. The truth is though, even when I go back to bed first, I am still laying there awake until Jeff gets back to bed, and then oftentimes, it can take me as much as an hour to fall back asleep! Fortunately, this night waking is not an every night thing, but it is happening more often than I'd like it to right now. I'd guess about 2-3 times a week.
