My Late Night Monster

The face of an angel...or is it? My darling little Noah started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks and I mean he really started sleeping through the night. I always laugh when people say their child is sleeping through the night when he/she goes to bed at midnight and gets up at 6:00...I hate to break it to them but that is NOT sleeping through the night. Noah goes down at 8:30 and usually sleeps until 7:30 or 8:00. It has been fabulous! Now, for those of you who always think that I'm bragging about Noah I just have to say that it's not really bragging...it's just such joy at having a baby such as Noah and I just can't keep my happiness from overflowing. You see, I served my 16 month sentence in hell with baby Xander (and it truly was hell; I am not exaggerating the 3 hours it took to get him to bed or the subsequent 8-12 times I had to get up during the night to try and quiet his screaming...every night of his first 16 months!!!) and so Noah is just a dream come true for us. But the past few nights he has started waking up around 4:00 and it takes almost an hour to get him back to sleep. Then it takes me awhile to fall back asleep and then it's time to get up just a little while later which leaves me dead for most of the day. Yes, I have been spoiled with Noah...but this is rough! My neighbor said that her little boy who is a few months older than Noah started waking up in the night when he started teething and yes, Noah is teething right now. She said resist giving him a bottle and eventually he'll get out of the habit of getting up. I sure hope so...I enjoy my sleep and want to go back to how it was before my little late night monster started waking me up!
