3 nights of sleeping through the night!

Well, maybe our exhausted parenting is working...another night of Matt falling asleep around 830pm and we don't hear or wake up until around 430ish...then its a quick diaper change, 2-3 oz of formula and Matthew is back asleep until around 645-7am.

I was nervous that this was a fluke, but after another successful night I am thinking we might be turning the corner.

In other news, he is now eating puffs! His daycare teacher Mrs. Stephanie and Mrs. Kay told us to bring them b/c I guess the other 2 boys around Matthew's age are eating them and Matt is sitting at the table with the other kids and wanting to grab their puffs...so we started on Monday and so far he is enjoying it. I also gave him a few last night before his bath and he had them all over...not quite sure he realizes that once they go in the mouth they are suppose to stay there...so sticky, wet puff pieces end up all over the place...Queenie of course is loving it...but it makes for a sticky mess and immediate bath. I will try to get a picture to post.

As for those front teeth, both have broken through the gums and are slowly making their appearance. It looks like a nice gap will be present for a little while...but of course since Jay and I both needed braces I am sure Matthew will as well...we are also doing a better job of brushing teeth every night...guess I need to look up when to schedule his first dentist appointment...probably not for a few more months but I know I should get my act together and know these sort of things.

Otherwise, a normal day in the Granier house...we hope to do something fun this weekend like maybe go see Thomas Jefferson's house which is about an hour away...or the botanical gardens of Richmond or the State Park...not sure what, will depend on the weather and what time Jay get his run accomplished on Saturday...but goal is to try and take advantage of Jay not being on-call.

So here is to keeping our fingers crossed that we continue to have 830pm-430am (or later) nights...then I guess I will officially be able to report in the baby book that the night-time feeding has finally gone away at 7 months 4 weeks!
Matthew is officially 8 months old on Friday...so pictures to come soon with his 8 sticker!
