who's complaining?..not me.

for the last couple of weeks or so, stetson has been sleeping from around 8 pm to 8 am usually waking up once to eat around 2 or 3 am.  it's been great and we definitely aren't complaining.  but last night was the first time he slept from about 8:15 pm to 7 am this morning.  you just can't ask for much better from a 2 month old.  he's such a good boy.  he still sleeps most of the time...he's usually awake for an hour or so at a time and then he's had enough.  i would say we have it made..at least for now.  i know other new moms who seem frazzled on a regular basis and don't have time to put on makeup or anything else because their babies are so fussy they can't put them down.  we've had a couple of days like that (mainly when he was having stomach issues) but i can't imagine dealing with that day in, day out.  i mean, the first month was pretty rough...with sleep deprivation and exclusively breastfeeding which didn't work out...but once we got to 5 or 6 weeks, it has been wonderful.  he's an easy baby.  and we're thankful.

I tried to tell Mimi (grandmother Marti) to buy him a RED car. He has never liked BLACK cars! (Sorry Stetson, I'll paint it for you. Grandpa Dan)
