Maxley’s sleep these days is really hit or miss. Although when I told my coworkers that he slept in 2 hour chunks and that got me excited her jaw hit the floor. Maybe we have some work to do. Monday night he slept in 45 minute intervals so I call 2 hours a win. Sometimes it’s 3 hours so it’s not terrible. It’s my normal. It is SO cheesy and everyone tells you this but I cant remember that old life when I used to shut my eyes at night and open them in the morning.
My old life seems like a lifetime ago. 5 months tomorrow since everything changed. From that day forward I know I won’t get a good night sleep without waking up in excruciating pain from missing the other half of me.
“The one whom my soul loves.”
He does seem to get happier, more relaxed, more flexible as days go on. Depending on his mood we can lay him down for a few minutes and he will coo and kick until he realizes he could cry and someone would come get him. It’s fun to see his personality shine through. Sassy like mommy for sure. I hope he is kind, giving and loves unconditionally like his daddy.
Pam is doing so well. She really took to it quickly and I hope she is enjoying her bonding time. I was hoping she could get him on a good schedule while she was here but he has other plans for her. For the most part he has his naps and we will get better at making sure he sticks to them. He always has a better night when he napped well.
I got fall photos done on Friday and got them back yesterday!! They are amazing!! Thank you Amy!!!

I love the pictures Sweetie. When our Elyse was that age and until she was almost 8 months she had colic and had 20 to 40 minute naps! Even through the night! As long as she was cuddled she was okay......it gets tiring and she could scream the house down but after colic ended she was and is the complete opposite. It will get better ♥️😘

Love the pictures! By the way, I think 2 hours is fabulous. My son was on that schedule past his 1st birthday.

Great photos! He looks so good, you should be proud, even in moments when it’s super hard.
