Sleep anyone?

This was a great weekend for us because it was the first time that Chase slept through the night. And, no, not the 5 straight hours that most books say counts as a full night of sleep. In my book that is most certainly NOT a full nights sleep. I'm talking about what most sane adults would count as "through the night". Yes, my friends, Chase slept for NINE HOURS both Friday and Saturday nights. WOO HOO!! Both Matt and I woke up around 3 am both nights/mornings since that was the pattern of when he had been waking up prior to this weekend and we were both astonished to hear no sound coming from the monitor. I resisted the urge to get out of bed to check on Chase and make sure he was breathing (Matt thinks I'm crazy but I always have SIDS on the brain and therefore am convinced that he could stop breathing at any moment). Sure enough we didn't hear any fussing until 6:30am. We'd put him to bed at 9pm the night before. Pretty unbelievable. I didn't want to get my hopes up but sure enough, he did the same thing Sat. night. I'm saying a prayer right now that this will continue.

I took these pictures of "my boys" Sat. morning. After I fed Chase at 6:30 he was awake for a little while and then it was time for his morning nap. I laid him down with Matt on the couch. I thought this top picture was pretty funny because Chase looked WIDE awake...But then if you look below this was take literally only about 1 minute later...It didn't really take much for them both to fall asleep. Pretty cute. It was enough to melt my heart to see them both cuddled up together. :)

This picture is pretty funny because I sat Chase down on the couch with Matt and here they look like they are equally interested in what was on TV. (I have no doubt that it was either on ESPN, A&E, the History Channel or National Geographic).
