He did it again!

Little P pulled another 12-hour stint of sleep last night! Horray! Coincidentally this was night two of him sleeping in his own room, too. Even though he slept soundly, I was still on high alert throughout the night waiting for the slightest whimper over the monitor. Hopefully I'll be able to relax a bit soon and we'll all be well-rested!

Room Progress!

We moved into our new home in the middle of December of this past year. We were fortunate enough to move into a home that had been tastefully painted a neutral sand color throughout the entire house. Well, almost all throughout the house. Meet, the electric blue nightmare:


This is Philip's bedroom. Apparently the previous owners of this home were visually impaired, as that is the only reason I can find for committing this heinous of a decorating crime.

Two coats of primer and two coats of paint later, (not to mention countless man hours), we are almost done with Philip's bedroom. Here are some progress pictures showcasing all of our hard work. We sure hope Philip likes it as we're never repainting.

"Thanks for my awesome room, Mommy and Daddy!"

We're going to be installing a chair rail in the near future and then we can move on to our next equally time-consuming and swear-worthy project...

"All we are saying...

is give PEAS a chance!"

LOL. So they're not his favorite, he definitely prefers sweet potatoes over them, but he's coming around! It's not my intention to raise a picky eater so much praise is given with every bite in the hopes that he'll make a positive connotation between the less-than-appealing green sludge and the cheers of "Such a big boy!" from Mommy. What can I say, the kid loves to be praised!

The most amazing thing happened last night!

Philip went to bed last night around 7:30. He ate dinner, played, and went to sleep with his bottle as per usual. Then he was out and in bed without a problem. I went to bed around 10:30. Phil got home from work around 2:30 and I woke up when he came to bed. I figured Philip would be up for his usual 4 am feeding so I better get back to sleep soon.

The next thing I know, my alarm is going off and the sun is shining. What just happened? Something seems off. And then it dawned on me: Philip hadn't woken up for his nighttime feeding. He slept through it! And in turn, he full blown slept through the night for the first time ever! This is huge! I haven't slept through the night myself since the 2nd trimester of my pregnancy. Wow! I feel like I've been reacquainted with an old friend-- uninterrupted SLEEP!

Granted, I don't dare expect him to do the same tonight but I'm so relieved to know that he can go a whole night without needing to eat again. It gives me hope that nighttime feedings really will be a thing of the past some day in the near future!

Six Months Old!

Today Philip is officially half a year old. Holy cow! Where have the last six months gone? I can't believe in another six months we'll be planning his 1st birthday!

Nap Time

This is how I found them when I got home from work today...


I love how Philip's holding on to his daddy's thumb!

Snow Day!

This morning we woke up to almost 5 inches of snow outside. Finally, Philip's first substantial snow day! And lucky for us, all three of us were home to enjoy it!

Suited up and ready to go! Thanks for my cool snowsuit, Grammy!
