Bedtime

Kevin and I have started a nighttime routine with Oliver in an attempt to get a good night's sleep. Our routine starts with bath time (thank you Johnson's Bedtime Bath!), then we head upstairs for lotion and jammies. Last night, it was so hot, Oliver went to bed in nothing but his diaper! After jammies, we read a story. I know that he is only 2 1/2 months old and doesn't really get the stories, but I think he enjoys them! Last night, the story was apparently the threshold for sleepiness:


Usually after story time it is time for a final feeding. Last night, I had to wake him back up to eat. Then, it's time for swaddling and goodnight kisses. Having this routine has done wonderful things for Oliver's sleeping habits! We are down to just one nighttime feeding at around 3:00-4:00 a.m. Hopefully by the time I go back to work (just 5 weeks away!), Oliver will be getting up around 5 a.m. to eat before I have to leave for the school.
