The Aliens are Coming, the Aliens are Coming!!

How do we know?  Clearly someone has taken our child in the middle of the night and replaced him with a baby that sleeps.  Ashton slept for 7-8 hours IN A ROW the past two nights.  I'm almost afraid to even put this in print - I certainly don't want to jinx us!  I've been replaying the days events over and over in my mind to try to determine what the secret may have been...was it our walk? our various outings? the cluster feeding at night? Hmmmm....could have been all of these items combined.  It could be a fluke too of course but even if he reverts back to his prior days, we at least know it's possible for him to sleep that long and most importantly, we have HOPE.  Hope that he's turning the corner and for this sleep deprived mama, that is good enough for me!  

On another sleeping note, he recently put himself down for a nap.  That's right.  I laid him down in his crib for a few minutes while I went to make the bed and when I returned a few moments later, he was asleep!  Oh how I love this child!

Baby Houdini manages to break one arm out of his swaddle. :)

Sweet baby boy
