Sleeping Battles

As many of you know, Leon is not a good sleeper! I've battled and battled with him to take naps and to sleep through the night. This week I'm going to try a few new things. The major things we need to work on are 1) Getting Leon to fall asleep and back to sleep on his own. He always wants to nurse to sleep which I wouldn't think would be so bad if he could so fall asleep on his own other times. 2) To stay asleep until at least 6:00 am and no earlier. For the last 3 to 4 weeks he has been getting up around 5:00 am to eat and not wanting to go back to sleep. 3) Only getting up 2 to 3 times at night to eat. He really doesn't need it more than that.

Wish us Luck!

He is so dang cute when he sleeps! Just take a look at these photos we've taken of him over the last 4 months of him asleep:

First he would only sleep if I was holding him:

And then he started sleeping on his boppy pillow.

One time he fell asleep in his carrier.

Asleep on his boppy pillow again. He looks pretty comfy here.

Stretching out after a nap.

When we moved, I found that he loved to fall alseep swinging on the porch swing.

Asleep on the boppy AGAIN. He stopped doing this when he started to wiggle around more.

This one is so funny. He was so worn out one day that when Kyle put him on the floor to play he just passed out.

This was one day when I couldn't handle him anymore, so I put him in this bed out of frustration. I went in to find him like this! Too funny!

One day when he was sleeping really well (very rare) I checked on him and found him like this.
