Sleeping Through the Night!

Austin is officially sleeping through the night now!!  Over the past two weeks I've cut out his middle of the night feeding (he is more than big enough to not need it!).  So he has been going to bed around 7-8p.m., then I do a "dream feed" (feeding him in his sleep) around 11ish, and he would last until 4-5a.m.  I would then feed him and he would go back to sleep until 7.  When I first began working on this he was waking around 4a.m. and it slowly went closer to 5a.m.  The idea is that he keeps pushing it back until it's his regular wakeup time (7a.m.).  Well, when I heard that he was up this morning I assumed it was around 5a.m. and I was extremely excited to see that it was 6:51 a.m.!!  He is such an amazing baby and has responded so well to being on a schedule!! :)

Austin's Second Month

Austin seems to be growing so quickly, we can't believe how big he is already!  He barely fits into size 3 month clothing!  He is acting more and more like a baby and less like a newborn everyday.  This month his accomplishments include laughing for the first time, starting to grab things, putting things in his mouth, and he even appears to be paying attention to food already!  Austin recently began dropping his middle of the night feeding and sleeping through the night up to 6 hours in one stretch (yay for sleep!).  He is becoming very playful and will entertain himself for up to 45 minutes at a time.  He enjoys having books read to him. He tries to sneak in watching TV, so we have to keep a close eye on him to turn him away from it!  Austin also had his first playdate and traveled on an airplane for the first time.  He has met a lot of extended family members this month, including his 97 year old Pra Baka (great-grandmother).
