Elijah sleeps by himself now.
in his crib
all the way through the night
without making a peep…usually
that’s like 10-12 hours!
no feedings, no 3am crying that lasts for hours
{knock on wood}
and he hasn’t even cried much as we tried to fix his routine!
{bonus points}
i know i’m like 7 months behind all the more awesome mamas out there but hey at least i got there
finally!
i can honestly say i feel like such a better mom when i get sleep!
looooooove it.
We took Elijah out in the snow during Christmas Break to introduce him to the cold/wet/craziness/beauty that it is. He wasn’t quite sure about all the white stuff surrounding him. (Which only means we trained him well…. we are not fans of snow in this house)
At one point, I showed him a little snowball in my hand and he grabbed it and ate it.
Nice.
That is one thing snow is good for I guess. And of course as a baby he would pick up on that right away.
We don’t have a snow suit for him or boots so I sat him down in the snow on my jacket and he seemed very confused…
But he loved being outside with Mom and Dad! Even if there was some strange cold stuff surrounding him.
Here is some video of our little outing. I tried to see if he’d eat the snow again but he wasn’t interested this time I guess.

wake up in the morning (feeling like P.Diddy? no) with big smiles and hungry tummies.
play time.
whine whine whine = nap time.

cry because mom went to the bathroom without him.

cry and bang on the bathroom door while mom is in the shower.
whine whine whine = nap time #2
(he fell asleep like that! Adam took this picture when I was in class and he was totally passed out and drooling, ha!)
wake up. eat some more. make a fort.
follow mom around the house whining.

last minute play time before bed.

okay that’s not exactly what he looks like before bed… this is just a funny picture to me cause he’s pouting so hard. he’s more like this:
love that chunky crazy boy!
