Its a Music Miracle!

Weeks of sleepless nights have ended! We haven't been able to get Logan to sleep in his own bed for more than a couple of minutes. We tried everything we could think of but nothing seemed to work until last night. Mike turned on some music and discovered that it calmed Logan down when he was crying. He decided to play music in his bed at night to see if it made any difference. I can't tell you the joy I feel in reporting that between nursing sessions he slept soundly in his own bed. Sometimes he would stir between songs but the music lulled him into deep sleep. The funny part is he seems to like 80's hits the best.

I never knew that a newborn could have so much personality. He smiles a lot. He loves to make noise. His groans and moans are his way of talking all the time. It cracks me up. He hates having his arms wrapped up in his blankets. One of his favorite activities is flapping his arms around. He makes very expressive faces. When dad kisses him he wrinkles his nose and squints his eyes (whiskers are scratchy). I swear I could go on forever. It is so much fun being a mom.

I think my biggest accomplishment was when Isabel slept for FIVE straight hours one night. I actually felt like I got some rest for myself! Of course, she was a few months old. Congratulations on lulling your child to sleep! I absolutely LOVE that he drifts to sleep to the sounds of the 80s. Ha!

Go 80's music! He must be related to his aunt Jamie! Isn't it funny how a little sleep can make you a new person? hang in there you guys! it will get better I promise...the magic # is 6 weeks.. it seems like they can finally get into a groove by then... not totally sleeping through the night, but a good chunck at least and their schedule seems to straighten out! He is so cute! love you!
