Sleep, Glorious Sleep

They did it! They did it! The boys slept through the night!!!!!!!!!! (can you tell I'm a bit excited?)

They've been sleeping more and more at night, so I knew it wasn't too far away. Ryan said he heard them peep at 4:40, but I didn't hear them at all. They didn't start fussing until 5:30! Will and John slept from 8:30-5:30! Way to go, boys! I'm sure it had something to do with the fun day they had with Masie and Aunt Ka-Ka on Monday. When I went to get the boys this morning, John had managed to not only come unswaddled (surprise, surprise), but he had rotated himself almost 180 degrees. His little head was up against the front bumper, and his feet were just about in his big bro's face. We may have to start separating them soon... :(

I can't believe they are 10 days away from being 4 months old. The other day when someone asked me how old they are, I answered, "2 months." Then I stopped and realized that I was wrong! At their 3-month check-up, Will was just shy of 12 lbs, and John wasn't too far behind at 11lbs1oz. They've outgrown most of their 0-3 month clothes. Thankfully, we don't have to buy any clothes for them! We've received LOADS of hand-me-downs from lots of people. The boys have more clothes than me and Ryan combined - and that's A LOT of clothes.

John has found his thumb. I caught him numerous times last night sucking away on that thumb, much to our dismay. I tried to persuade him to suck on his paci instead, but apparently his thumb tastes better. Hopefully we can break this habit fast. As Ryan pointed out, you can cut a paci away, but you can't cut a finger away. So true, so true.

Here's to more sleeping through the night! Hopefully this is the beginning of a great habit and NOT a fluke.
