\"Smiling<\/a>
Smiling Sammy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I can\u2019t really complain about sleep because Annie has been the primary one taking care of Sammy through the night due to the fact that she\u2019s on maternity leave, but each time he would wake up in the night we would both wake up\u2026even since we moved him into his own room and watch him on a monitor. So imagine the shock when Christmas night Sammy slept 8 hours!!<\/p>\n

We knew Santa had not forgotten us!!!<\/p>\n

It was a Christmas miracle! I woke up at 4:00 in the morning and Annie said he had been asleep for 6 straight hours to which I replied \u201cAre you sure he is breathing?\u201d She said yes but a few minutes later she peeled her eyes away from the baby monitor to go and personally check that he was. He then proceeded to sleep another 2 hours for the grand total of 8. Holy smokes!! What a milestone, but could it be repeated?<\/p>\n

Well, last night he slept for 8 hours yet again. It\u2019s a great milestone to reach, mainly for the parents but it\u2019s great to start seeing patterns develop with him. I feel we\u2019ve actually done pretty well with the sleep stuff\u2026mainly by taking turns with him during the day when we can and also partaking in the ever elusive naps. On the other hand, neither one of us are big complainers or sleepers, so that could have something to do with it too.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, it\u2019s just another step toward him developing and forming patterns. It\u2019s mind boggling to watch him through these things. From the first time he smiled on purpose to him learning to look into your eyes\u2026simply amazing! Who knows what will be next in his journey and we also know that there are still plenty of nights ahead where he will keep us up BUT this is indeed progress!<\/p>\n

A side note: This made Annie and I a believer in Santa Claus again!! Hallelujah and all that good stuff!<\/p>\n
