Sleeping Update

I realize we'll have more kids, and I realize they might be completely different compared to Drew, but right now we feel like the luckiest parents on earth. I'm knocking on wood while I write this realizing how easy Drew is.

From about 6 months old, we've been putting him down at night after just a small bottle (and getting smaller). He is never asleep when we lay him in his crib, and every night one of two things happens. Either he falls asleep as we exit the room or he whimpers a bit a few minutes later needing one last tummy rub before he's out. Sure we've had to go back in more than once a few times in the past couple months, but it's been extremely limited.

He is currently sleeping 11-12 hours a night with most nights leaning toward the 12 hour mark now. Generally, he starts getting tired around 7 - 7:30 and with our nighttime routine, he's usually down by 7:30-8pm.

We feel so blessed to have such a great little sleeper! Now if we could just put him to bed at 10pm sometimes on a random Friday night and have him sleep til 10am, that would be AMAZING! I'm counting my blessings though and am so thankful for 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep most nights.

Also, the picture to the right was from last week. It was during a nap and it was the very first time Drew fell asleep on his tummy. He has 100% been a back sleeper since birth until now. His dad and I are also back/side sleepers and I absolutely hate sleeping on my tummy. It will be interesting to see what becomes his position of choice!
