Xander is doing his sleep study tonight. I wonder if he's sleeping yet? They are going to hook him up to all kinds of wires and stuff to see what happens when he sleeps. For those who don't know, X has never been a good sleeper. It started when he was an infant and he screamed for hours every night for, I don't know, 2 years?? And then sounded like a little monkey when he finally did sleep. It wasn't until I had Grace and Greta that I learned that it really wasn't typical for babies to sound like monkeys and that 4 hours of screaming nightly before bed was not the norm! He also has snoring problems and problems with night terrors (but interestingly, no nightmares as far as I know), and very loud daytime breathing. I'm really hoping the sleep study will lead to removing his adenoids and maybe the tonsils too.
Speaking of sleep...Marie is now sleeping in her crib! Her first night was last night and she did amazingly well! I woke her up at 7am because I needed for her to eat. She has been pushing herself up to almost standing and it would be dangerous to do that with the low sides of the co-sleeper so she had to move out. I say "almost standing" because she so far hasn't learned she needs to hold on to things if she wants to do that. So, she'll push herself straight up and then immediately falls face first because she really doesn't have the strength or balance to stand on her own yet.
And, what's a blog post without a picture? These are just some of the big kids. I can't have all the pictures about Marie even if she's the only one who holds still and smiles for me! Grace and Greta are in the old schoolhouse at a local playground. The other picture is of Little Nathan, I mean Xander, and Jon acting goofy. I swear it feels like I am raising my brother some days with Xander!
