Party at the Parkinson's!!!

We just wanted to invite everyone to our party! Feel free to come join us. It's at two, four, sometimes 12:30 a.m.
Come on, Kaden is 4 months old now, shouldn't he be sleeping through the night?! I'm tired! If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

I think Kaden thinks it's funny! He can sleep all day long...I can't!

The best book on babies schedules I ever read is "Baby Wise" You either love or hate it. But it worked wonders for us.

I don't have any great advice for you. I just thought I would let you know that Hailey STILL wakes up every night! So if you do figure it out, let me know!!!

Hahaha......cute kid. I love the chubs on that last picture. But he has nothing on Connor. Have you seen my babies thighs?!?! :o)

Anyway, Connor's a good sleeper and Elli was NOT!! I'm sure you remember me telling you about her. We haven't done much differently. Some just sleep better than others. Well, one thing we do differently is give Connor a bath every night right before his last feeding and then off to bed. I don't put him to bed asleep. He has to put himself to sleep. I guess that helps them learn how to fall back asleep on their own....blah, blah, blah.....I'm sure you know all of that. Okay, I'm tired myself.

One last bit of advice. Get an ipod. With Elli, I fed a lot during the night like you are and by the 2nd and 3rd feeding I would fall asleep and end up asleep in the chair for an hour and then would have to switch sides, then I would have a crick in my neck, and then I was grumpy, and then I would be tired the next day, and then I wouldn't make dinner, so then Steve would be grumpy.......ahhhh, the drama goes on and on. So get an ipod.

Off to bed!! Good luck!

I started giving Chloe some of that rice cereal about a 1/2 hour to an hour before I wanted to put her down for bed, She started sleeping through the night the first time I fed it to her!! Hope it helps, I know how the "no sleeping goes" Chloe might sleep all night but I work all night. So, well @ least Jared sleeps good right?

Join the club, Lucas did not sleep until he was well into twelve months, we tried multiple things, feeding him before he went to sleep, and letting him cry a bit to see if he would sleep, but nothing worked. He just gradually made it through the night. He left Amber and I quite tired, since we both work full-time jobs after being up all night. Good Luck.
