Fabulous, Fun, and Fussy

First off... WAHOO! Bryson has slept through the night twice now! Can you believe it?! Did I say, Wahoo?! He slept through on Monday night and again last night. Both nights from about 9 pm to 7 am. I believe Hannah first slept through when she was about 3 1/2 months old and then started consistently sleeping through at about 4 months. Bryson is just 2 1/2 months and I'm crossing my fingers that this continues.

Bryson really is fabulous, but lately he has been so fussy. During the day his naps seem to last just 10 minutes. I'm trying to do some sleep training and it seems to have worked at night (and I'm just lucky!) but we certainly aren't on a schedule for those daytime naps. Also we've had several evenings where he will just scream and cry. I know 2 months can be the peak of colic, so we'll just hope that is what it is and will pass soon.

One really fun thing about this stage is those little smiles. Bryson is smiling more and more. On Sunday I came home from a meeting, Bryson was in his swing, and I came up to him and knelt down. I smiled and started talking to him and Bryson got so excited! He grinned and waved his little arms and legs back and forth. Although he probably would have done this to anyone who came up to talk to him, I felt so loved that he was excited to see me.
