Schedule






A few weeks ago Matt and I decided to try putting baby Matthew on an eating schedule. The first week went great. He was eating every 4 hours and at night he would have one good 5 hour stretch. For some reason last week Matthew did not want to follow a schedule. He wanted to eat on his time and that was all there was to it. He jumped around from 4 hours to 3 and most of the time every 2 1/2. What the heck. He was doing so well the week before I thought for sure he had it down but NO not our child. I think it is because he is so perfect that he had to make all the other parents and children look as good as him some how so, this is his way of doing it. No schedule for him, so I thought. But for the past couple of days he has been perfect, well more than perfect. Saturday he ate every 4 hours and Saturday night(day light savings) he ate at 10:30, went to bed at midnight(his usual) and slept until 6:30am. I woke up so excited but thought to myself it must be a fluke. So, when last night cam around I thought for sure we would be up every 4 hours or so. But much to my surprise he ate @ 9:30pm, went to sleep at midnight and slept until 4:00am. It may not be a consistent schedule or sleeping through the night but it is good enough for Matt and I. We are so blessed to have such a happy baby. He is just absolutely perfect and we just love him so much.
P.S.
I haven't figured the whole picture placement out yet so they are first. Enjoy!
