I’ll be posting tomorrow for Michael Aaron when Michael Aaron turns one month, but I didn’t want to make you picture addicts wait another second for new pictures of this adorable boy!

We Survived!
For anyone who actually made it to the end of my last post, I thought I’d let you know how it all turned out.
We succeeded! By 1230 AM, Michael Aaron had finally stopped crying and we both slept in our respective beds. After all that work getting him to sleep, I found myself a little [...]
24 Hours with BabyWise
I received so much positive feedback on my “Day in the Life” post that I thought I’d do the same thing with my first day on BabyWise.
Note: We were not on a schedule yesterday and Michael Aaron did a lot of evening napping so he was not very tired when it was time for the [...]
Four Weeks Old!
Michael Aaron is officially four weeks old today! In this past week we’ve started to see some real changes in our little guy. Here are some of the things he can do…
He can lift his head up and hold it (albeit a little wobbily) up for a suprising amount of time.
He has begun to focus [...]
Going BabyWise
If you are a parent today and you enjoy reading and research as much as I do, you know there are a few basic infant-rearing philosophies. There is attachment parenting - which basically treats the first year of life as a 4th trimester and suggests co-sleeping, carrying the baby constantly in a sling and on-demand [...]
So, is he sleeping yet?
As a new mom, I am asked two questions whenever someone sees my precious son.
How old is he? Followed inevitably by…
Is he sleeping yet?
Why do people ask that? I’ve heard of babies who slept through the night the day they came home from the hospital so I know they exist, but that is certainly not [...]
New Pictures!
I’ve been a little lax with the photo updates this week, but here at last are some pictures from the last week. More to come of course!
Round Two
I’m calling last night a draw. I did get to sleep in bed with my husband which was the primary objective. However Michael Aaron also slept with us so it was kind of cheating.
After Round One’s late night, I was really tired yesterday and so didn’t make the effort to put Michael Aaron [...]
And Round One Goes To…
Ding, Ding, Ding…Michael Aaron!
By 330 AM when I had not gotten a minute of sleep, I gave it up and kept Michael Aaron on the couch with me…where he then slept for four hours straight. Our night prior to that looked something like this:
Nurse Michael Aaron - He falls asleep - I put him in [...]
Operation Return to My Own Bed: Night 1
So I’ve been sleeping on the sofa more often than not since Michael Aaron’s birth. Very early on, we were able to get him to sleep some in the pack ‘n play, but for the past two weeks that has been a no go. During the day, Michael Aaron sleeps fairly well in his crib [...]
