Nathan has been sleeping at night anywhere from 5 to 8 hours during the first part of the night. He goes to bed at around 7:30 and thankfully is down for a while. Generally I get up two times before 6 am. The hard part has been if Wesley also wakes up in the night. He has in the last month: nosebleed one time, two other times he was too scared to go to the bathroom by himself. He's also sometimes talks in his sleep, so you'll go to his room, only to find out he's asleep :/
The other hard part has been when putting Nathan down after a feed. He'll start kicking his legs and shaking his head back and forth. He shakes it so much that sometimes the pacifier pops out of his mouth. It probably takes about 30 minutes before he settles down. He recently started doing this. I don't remember Wes doing that, but maybe I didn't know since this time Nathan is in our room. All that noise keeps me up until Nathan settles down. Sometimes I notice the clock and it shows almost an hour has gone by. It'll be nice once he gets out of this phase.
Wesley has been good with his brother. In the morning he likes to climb in bed with me. After Nathan is fed and dressed, jay will put him in bed with us. Wes will play a little with Nate. Yesterday morning he specifically asked Jay to put him in bed with us. He like to "teach" Nate to kick and punch.
An interesting Thing happened last night. Jay and I were in the kitchen talking. We left Wesley watching TV and Nathan was strapped to his rocking chair. It was quiet for a while and when I peeked in the living room, Wesley was pushing the rocking chair around. Nathan was "driving the car ". It was so cute to see them "playing" with each other. So this is what it's like when kids can entertain each other :) Here's a clip: (excuse the recyclable trash. We were getting ready for trash night)
