Crazy Nights

I hope I don’t jinx our good luck but Ajax has, for the past 2 nights, been sleeping beautifully.  Last night he only got up once at 1 am for a feeding, then went right back to sleep and slept till 6:30.  I didn’t get out of bed once last night as Mr. Dave handled the feeding.  Maybe this will be the start of some easier nights, but Ajax is still pretty young (8 weeks tomorrow!) so I’m not putting to much pressure on the little guy.  This just gives Dave and I a taste of the sleep we had just 8 weeks ago. Oh well.

Ajax is also getting better at reaching for things and this morning I do believe he’s starting to realize he has hands.  We were playing with his rattle when he all of a sudden stared, mesmorized, at his fists.  I think pretty soon he’ll start putting together that he has hands and that they are attached to his arms, and then there will be no stopping him!

Ajax loves this lion mobile in his crib and will stare at it for the longest time.
