by himself
we've been working on sleep the last few weeks. working hard. his patterns got messed up around the beginning of the year and then we bounced back and forth between two naps and one. then he stopped sleeping normally at night. so we've been working hard to get him comfortable at night with sleeping by himself. it's been tough, uncomfortable and not exactly the most restful sleep for mom and dad.
however. I think we're starting to reap the benefits.
this is what it looks like when a little boy falls asleep in his crib by himself.
by. himself.
feel like we might have turned a corner here.

3 months old! time for a nap!
down then up
after losing an expected 10% or so of his body weight, young Alexander has roared back to 7lbs 13.4oz just one day before his two week birthday! a happy healthy 13 day old newborn. Alexander has been out and about now quite a few times and has decided that the infant carrier is the perfect place to catch a snooze, letting mom and dad get some essential shopping done when needed. unfortunately, sleeping when the car is not running is not his favorite and mom and dad are still walking around in a sleep-deprived haze and short bursts of coffee-fueled clarity.
but who wouldn't go through it all for this little guy?
