The sleeping fairy visited Caleb last night. For the first time since before being pregnant, not only did Caleb sleep through the night, but so did I. Let me just say, it felt pretty 'spectacular' in the words of uncle Dan! Around 2 in the morning Dave and I woke up to Caleb putting himself back to sleep with whimpers and humming. I drifted off to dreamland and couldn't believe our sleeping lamb had managed to sleep all night long! Way to go Caleb.
This beautiful night has come after reading and re-reading three sleep books, enduring many tears (not just Caleb), a terrible teething episode just as we were making great strides, a travel trip, and two weeks of stressful (sleep learning)nights. It has all finally come together. Caleb is becoming a great self-soother and no longer has to feed every few hours. His little hum is the sweetest sound around.
And it doesn't stop there. All that sleep must be paying off because in the blink of an eye, so fast I almost didn't believe it, Caleb rolled over from Tummy to Back! It's been tough for Caleb with all that chub chub getting in the way, but he did it!
We love you Caleb :) You never cease to amaze us.
