Double the Fun!: Sleeping Through the Night?

This week has definitely been a week of adjustments. To our surprise, Emory and Cooper have started sleeping much longer than they have been before. They now go about 5 or 6 hours between feedings at night. You would think we would be excited about that, right? Well, the problem is that we had been feeding them at 11:00 before we went to sleep. So, they started waking up at 5am (which of course after we feed and change the boys, is really too early for us to be awake for the day, but not enough time for us to really go back to sleep before we have to really wake up). So, this past week has been hard on sleep. We have started letting them sleep as long as possible after their 7:30 feeding though and it is helping a little bit. We still have to get up once in the middle of the night, but at least we can sleep for a couple of hours after we feed them.

The other adjustment that comes with sleeping through the night, is that the boys are now awake a lot more during the day. So, they have really started to develop their personalities. It has been a lot of fun to watch. Cooper has always been our quiet laid back boy. Now he seems to be our talker! On Saturday afternoon, I think he told my mom about his entire week! He talked to her for so long. It was adorable! I really wish I would have had my video camera, but I leant it out to my brother for the week. So, we couldn’t capture it for everyone else to see. Emory has also started to develop his personality. He is taking in everything. His eyes are wide open and exploring everything around him. He will talk to you and smile some, but he is much more interested in everything around him. He is our serious snuggler too. Both boys actually love to snuggle, but Emory I think could be content laying on Chris's chest all day long. It is so funny how different they are already. Here are some pictures to show off their personalities…
