Lucky us, we've got ourselves a sleeper!

Today, Atticus is 18 days old.

Occasionally, he sleeps 5 hours during the night. Last night, my grandmother & some family friends came over for dinner, & Atticus was awake for most of the evening. He just refused to go to bed. My grandmother insisted that he was hungry, so we kept feeding him. He fed from me three times and took a bottle twice. In total, he probably ate at least 4 ounces. So last night, he slept for SEVEN hours! I had to get up in the middle of the night to pump, but sleep for us was a dream last night. I'm glad Robby got some rest. He is usually more tired from interrupted sleep, & today he had to go to campus to teach his sections. When Atticus woke up at 5am, he ate another 30 minutes & slept for another 3 hours.

This boy is so pleasant & mellow. When he has a dirty diaper, he doesn't cry at all. He silently looks around & waits for us to smell his poopy diaper from afar. When he can't sleep, he lies back and looks around without complaint. He doesn't crave the pacifier, though it does soothe him to sleep. & when he wakes up, he whines & squirms for a good 10 minutes before letting out his first cry.

Lucky us.
