uh...who took my baby?

The book I was talking about for those of you who could not see the picture is, Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Dr. Mark Weissbluth (I believe is his name)

The funny thing is, we could have WRITTEN this book. We followed it to a T with Logan without even reading a book. But, well, Logan was one of those EASY babies.

So I started yesterday at 12:15. Miles looked a bit sleepy, but not to the point of grumpyness. Logan naps at 12:30 so I told Logan I was going to go try to put Miles down for a nap.
3 minutes after I put him in he was sound asleep. Do you know how long he slept in his crib people???
Any guesses????
2 1/2 HOURS! No lie!

This Dr recommends a very early bedtime (we used to put Logan down at 7pm each night)
We ate supper last night at 6:15ish and after supper I didn't clean the kitchen like I normally do. I sent Dave and Logan out to play outside and I gave Miles a nice long bath. I lotioned him up and gave him a little massage. I put him in his snuggly pj's and fed him a bottle. It was only 1 1/2 hrs since he had eaten, but I could see he was getting tired. It was around 7pm when I started feeding him. He was in bed by 7:30!!! SLEEPING!!
We put Logan to bed at 7:30 (but we read 3 books each night so we usually don't get out of his room until a bit before 8:00)
Dave and I were astounded to have BOTH children in bed sleeping and we had nothing to do. Well we COULD have..ahem...you know....BUT! We didn't! haha! I cleaned the kitchen, did some laundry and sat down to read more of my book.
I had fully planned on Miles waking up at 10ish to eat. We went to bed around 9:40 and Dave was going to get up first.
I fell right to sleep and woke up to Miles stirring. I went to the bathroom and woke up dave. I then looked at the clock...
are you ready for this people??????

1:30am!

6 1/2 HOURS! (then 3 1/2 hrs for the next feeding)

The author says that all babies are ready for a nap 1-2hrs, but no more than 2 hrs after waking up from sleep.
Miles woke up around 7am. By 8am he was getting a bit spacy, grouchy. I fixed his bottle and he ate and went straight down for nap.
NO crying!
He's sleeping right now in his crib as I type!

Could this be the beginning of change. I'm telling you the anticipation I'm getting for this to be our big turn around is SO exciting!
Don't get me wrong, I know we could go backwards. It has been 3 great sleeping episodes so far. 3 out of 3!
I highly recommend this book!
Now, today won't be so great because we are leaving both kids to go get our boat.
Miles will first be with one grandma who will then have to take him to the next grandma later in the day.
We'll be home by 6ish though, so hopefully we can keep his night routine the same as last night!
I feel energized, happy, and actually JOYOUS this morning!
