Milestones

So I'm very surprised at myself for not documenting some of the BIGGEST milestones of James' life! Someone has been sleeping through the night for quite some time now, and this mama is so very grateful! (Thank you Babywise!) :)

James slept through the night with a dreamfeed at around 9 weeks old... We would put him to bed around 8:00 p.m. after his 7:00 p.m. feeding, then wake him up around 10pm for a "dreamfeed" and then he would sleep until 7:00 a.m.

Well on July 30 (he was 13 weeks old) we tried dropping the Dreamfeed and guess who made it?? James! We had been inching the Dreamfeed back, inch by inch. And then we finally decided to give it a try and he slept all night!

So now our little bambino is sleeping from 8:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. - what a good boy!

We also have a huge milestone to mention... I just scheduled our first babysitter that is a non-family member. I'm really nervous but she is "best case scenario." She has babysat for people we know. She lives in the neighborhood. Her mother is a nurse and is available to help her if she needs it. Is a junior in high school, so if she works out - we'll have her around for 2 years! .... but I'm still sooooo nervous :-/
