Two Steps Forward...

Two days ago, I noticed that Jacob took longer naps if we put him in his own crib, in his own room, during naptime, rather than the pack n' play in our room.

Hmmm.

There have been a couple nights that he's slept a 6-hour stretch.  I wonder, if we put him in his crib at night, if he'd sleep better/longer than in our room, where he's awakened by our own movements and sleep sounds.

So we moved him to his room, set up a sound machine, and crossed our fingers.

The first night, he slept SEVEN hours.  Last night, he slept SIX hours.

Hallelujah!!!

Except, now that's ALL he's sleeping at night.  Both nights, I haven't been able to get him settled until 11:00pm, and then he's up for the day at 5 or 6am.  He does, oh so kindly, take a little cat nap around 7am.  Which is the time his sister gets up.

So I'm not sure if it has helped with getting more sleep.  But it's nice to have it in one chunk.  And I do sleep better without hearing all his little grunts and groans and various noises.  As, apparently, does he.

But 5am...Oy.
