Baby DJ Update - Sleeping Through The Night!!!

It's amazing! It's incredible! And it's kinda sad that the newest little one is getting big enough to sleep through the night! Baby DJ is quickly approaching the 8 month mark and sleeping well through the night! (At least until around 5am or so. Hahaha!)

Seriously though, this little guy has been eating all the things around the house lately and growing so very fast! In just the last few days, however, there's been this new development that his mom and I are starting to get used to, where he sleeps all the way past that 2am wake-up call that has been so familiar since he arrived on March 1st.

One thing that we've had a problem with over the last couple of weeks is that he's ready to sleep all the way through the night, but his diapers were definitely not... Mama, the brilliant and amazing woman that she is, found these little diaper inserts on Amazon.com and they WORK WONDERS! If you're a Boy Mom or Boy Dad, you may want to look into these. Normal overnight diapers worked okay, but somehow, this little guy could cause diaper fail every night around 3am. And parents, we all know that after a good 6-7 hour nap, kiddos are ready to play whether it's still dark out or not!

The other thing that we're having trouble with is that once we settled the diaper situation, we still wind up with a little one who's ready to play at around 5 or 5:30am, even on Saturdays! And with Daylight Savings Time coming to a close this weekend, it's starting to make this papa stress about losing progress when we're so close to a decent night's sleep!

If you've got any suggestions or comments, we would love to hear them in the comments below. And as always, thanks for all the questions, thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes for the family. We sure do appreciate all of you, and feel free to keep 'em coming!
