Our little Finnopotamus is usually a good sleeper. He *usually* wakes up once per night to feed and then goes back to sleep for the rest of the night. The last two nights he has decided that it would be much more fun to party than to go back to sleep. Wednesday night he was up from about 2-4 a.m. Last night he was up from 4:30-6:00 a.m. And he wasn't sad or upset. Very wide awake and babbling away, even laughing at times, having a merry little party in his crib. This morning when I went in at 5:45 a.m. to see what I could do (having given up on my whole 'I'm not going in there until 6 a.m.' thought) he looked up at me and smiled and cooed. And even though I was feeling so completely sleep deprived and annoyed that our little one had been up.....how does your heart not melt when he's so happy to see you?

The middle of the night parties are BRUTTAL!! But at least he's smiling about them. Hard to stay mad then ;) Hard to believe, but in another year or two you'll miss those times together when the whole world is silent and it's just you and him.
I'm *trying* to enjoy them...but it's hard to enjoy them when you're stumbling around in a sleepy stupor - lol!
