Happy Monday


Hope your weekend was as good as ours! We got Will on a 4 hour routine starting Saturday. It is SO much better to not have to feed him every 3 hours. We have been wanting to do this for a while but wasn't sure if he was ready. He has done great for the past 3 days-better than when he was on a 3 hour schedule. We now wished we would have started a little sooner! He is
still sleeping from 8:30 PM until 7 AM without waking up. I feel like he is a true babywise baby for the first time. We have implemented babywise all along since he was about 3 weeks old, but now we are fully on a babywise schedule-eat, wake time for about an hour, nap for 2+ hours, and then start all over again! I am a true believer in that book. Since moving to the 4 hour routine, he now goes down for a nap at 4pm. So I play with him for a bit and then get to put him down for his nap when I get home. This gives me a chance to clean/work out/grade papers-whatever I need to do. I have been called a schedule nazi, but I'll take it-my baby sleeps!
Dylan's cousins came to visit this weekend. He lights up when Dylan and Sutherlan play with him. They are SO good with him and constantly want to entertain him...which is good because it gives me a break. We took him over to see Uncle Mike. He gave Uncle Mike kisses and thought he was funny too!Kiki took Sutherlan and Will to the park yesterday for a little while. Will was dressed appropriately for the sunny day!
This is what I found when I went to get him up from his nap this afternoon...
As you can see, Will likes the 4 hour routine :) John and I like to think he is picturing himself basking in the sun at the beach-total relaxation.

That last picture is too cute, Luke started sleeping like that with his hands behind his head at about the age that Will is, and he still does it sometimes :)

Will is adorable! How wonderful to have a baby that sleeps! We did babywise with both our boys, it works and is wonderful! :)

Tell me about you schedule! How did you move him to 4 hours? I would love some pointers.
