Sleep Update

Eliot has set a new record, sleeping around 7 hours straight, eating, then sleeping another three, each night of last week. However, he's been a really bad napper, only doing 15-30 minutes at a time. On Sunday, he decided to nap like a little angel- one 1 hour nap and two 2 hour naps. But then he woke up every three hours during the night.

I suppose we can't have our cake and eat it too.

Here's how he wakes up. A lot of this video is cut out, because it takes him a looooong time to wake up (I'll warn you- it's still 3.5 minutes long!). Sometimes there's a half hour between his first stretches and squeaks until his eyes open. This is also the reason why he can't sleep in our room, and why we've started shutting the door to his room. He is so LOUD!



And here's Eliot in his polar bear costume/snow suit. That's right, it's supposed to snow today! Go figure...
And here's what we look like, when Eliot is in a particularly cuddley mood and doesn't want to sleep on his own.

Je craque, il est si adorable! Maintenant je comprends aussi pourquoi vous avez parfois de la peine à dormir la nuit. C'est quand mêmem bruiant, un bébé... Le réveil n'est jamais évident et pas toujours agréable, même quand c'est l'estomac qui réclame et que logiquement suivra un délicueux repas. Bonne appétit à bébé Eliot et... bonne nuit à maman et papa!

That reminds me of you waking up the last time we slept in the same tent together!
