Sleeping (night time): Night time sleep has been getting better and better, it seems. Our longest stretch so far has been 8 hours (7:30- 3:30am) which was two nights ago, but more typically the first stretch of sleep is around 6 hours. After that I usually get another 2-3 hour stretch, and then who knows. He doesn't usually need much help getting back to sleep in the middle of the night- usually just a quick 5 minute feed, and straight back in bed (in our room). No diaper change, no rocking, no paci. Occasionally though he doesn't go right back to sleep, and depending on how tired I am and what time it is, I may bring him in bed with me. He didn't use to like sleeping with me, but now it works like a charm, and I really enjoy it!! I'd say he ends up in our bed maybe twice a week for a few hours, on average.
He laughs pretty regularly and it's so amazingly cute I can't stand it! And... he laughs in his sleep!! One of the perks of having a baby that wants to be held for all his sleeps is you never miss out on the amazingly cute things they do while sleeping- like laughing! When awake, he laughs in response to funny sounds and silly faces, and sometimes peek-a-boo. And then sometimes I have no idea what made him laugh...
Oh yeah, and just for comparison...
