Twelfth Night, Or the Seventh Night in August

Posted in Family Events at 7:00 pm by Ben

Blake enjoys a Shakespeare play in the park: Twelfth Night.  Mom, Dad, and Laura enjoy delicious burritos: Chipotle.  Everyone’s happy.

If not exactly high culture, at least it’s culture on a very steep incline.

Blue Angels

Our little angel watches the Blue Angels over Lake Washington.  Maybe next year he’ll get to see the Hells Angels instead.  Or maybe not.

Sleeping through the night!

Posted in Newsy Updates at 9:04 am by Emily

Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning at 5:45 for the first time all night!  It seems our little miracle slept through the night for the first time ever!  When I woke up, Blake wasn’t even awake yet, although he was making a racket in his basinet. 

I got up to feed him, but when I took him in to nurse, he didn’t even open his eyes.  Back in the crib he went and I slept til 7:30 when he woke me up again, smiling and ready for breakfast!

So, his last feeding was at 10:00, that means he went ALL NIGHT - 9 hours!!  - Whoo Hoo!  I hadn’t gotten a full night’s sleep for 2 months, when he was born. 

I am hoping this heralds a new age of sleep for me, but I have heard that other things like teeth may soon interrupt his sleep again.  That’s OK, I’ll catch up on my rest while I can!
