Look at this little guy

Look at him all swaddled, sucking on his pacifier, looking at the fan, and just as content as can be. Noah is so easy! We have had a few difficult days, and nights with him, but for the most part he has been a breeze. Last night he slept from 8:30pm- 1:30 am, and then from 2am-5am, and from 5:30 am - 8:30 am.... and then the naps have just continued with some awake time in between. He hardly ever cries, and is just so cute when he looks up at you. Peyton was really easy, too. She wouldn't take a pacifier, and preferred to be bounced back to sleep when she was a newborn, but she was always a great sleeper and hardly ever cried. We can put Noah completely awake in the pnp and he will just happily watch the fan or suck on his pacifier before drifting off to sleep. I hope I don't eat these words tonight! 

If I remember correctly the hardest time we had with Peyton was 6 weeks to about 4  months. She would get fussy in the evenings, and I'd have to bounce with her on the exercise ball or run the vacuum. There were a handful of times that she got overstimulated and it was really hard getting her to go to sleep and stay asleep, but it wasn't ever super awful. I know Noah is still really young, and is very much still in the sleepy stage, so I can't really tell how he is going to be as a baby, but so far we have been really lucky! I know some people can't put their newborns down without them crying, and have to hold them while they sleep. Thank you, Jesus for letting me have two precious babies that like their sleep as much as I do! :) I really am so very thankful for my little family.

He's pretty cute. I can't get over how much he looks like Peyton when she was a baby. I'm glad he's a calm baby -- for now, anyhow!

I love babies when they're all swaddled tight. Oh babies.
