Happy Halloween! George picked this pumpkin on his field trip and couldn't wait to carve it. He designed it and Chris carved it.















Sam is 6 months old and such a happy baby. He's still trying to figure out how to sleep at night. When he started waking up every 2 hours again, I decided I've got to do something different. I usually nurse him when he wakes up but we've started letting him cry to get him to stretch to 4 hours between feedings. It's going ok, but he's still waking up 4 times a night, I'm just not feeding him 4 times anymore. He's gradually crying less, so hopefully I'll start getting sleep soon.














Here's George acting like a Bionicle and Tommy acting like Spiderman.

Your boys are so stinking cute!! Such good looking boy genes in the family.

Good luck with Sam; you can do it. It is soooo hard to train them to sleep through 1 feeding let alone 4! Have you started him on the rice cereal yet? That helped with Tyson. I was so desperate with him I actually started him on the cereal at 4 months. (my doctor said it doesn't really help) I just thought to myself, "could I sleep through the night after just drinking milk all day?" hahaha. Craig didn't need it though; each kid is different.

I don't know how you're doing it with so little sleep! It's scary to think that I'm going to be in that boat again in about 4 months!

We had to do the "cry it out" method with Peter. It was so hard for me not to respond to his crying. But he slept longer and longer each night and after only a week, he was sleeping through the whole night (11 hours straight).

It might be worth a try if you get too sleep deprived! Good luck!

So cute! Good luck with the sleeping thing - it's not a fun process!
