We are so enjoying our new little one. Our girls adore him and have been so sweet around him.
Andrew of course has been very sleepy the last few weeks, but is starting to open up his eyes a bit more and check out his new surroundings. He is eating and sleeping well and falling into a pretty regular routine.
I remember back to when Madison was born and I first became a mom...it was so wonderful, but quite an adjustment. I didn't really know what I was doing as far as helping her get onto a schedule, etc. Things were a little unpredictable for a while. I am so grateful to a friend in Cleveland who recommended the book "On Becoming Babywise" to me just after I had Laura.
"Babywise" is all about helping your baby get into an eating/sleeping routine that both of you can be happy with. I followed it closely with Laura & Camille, and now Andrew. It has totally worked for me and made life with babies predictable yet flexible. I also have the books "Toddlerwise" and "Childwise" by the same authors which discuss teaching responsibility, discipline, etc. I highly recommend the series!

I can't to come and hold Andrew tomorrow. I'm glad you found a wonderful book. I've told you my sleep nazi story haven't I?
Hey, was they Shelley that told you about that book. She had told me about the book and I followed her advice. I was so glad to receive it after my third child so I could enjoy my last three infants so much more! What a difference it made. I'm glad you're doing well. Your family is so beautiful.

That book is a fabulous manual, I agree. So glad you get to take a pause from hectic life and enjoy your baby. Wishing you lots of sleep and lots of love, too.
