Sound the Horn, Cue the Drums

Maddox appears to be taking cues from his Big Sister. Much like his sister, he decided at 9 weeks to the day that he would like to attempt to sleep through the night. Last night I tried everything to get that bugger to go to sleep, but he just kept smiling away at me as I tried to nurse him. Finally, I put him in bed (wide awake) and left him to play in his bed. I was expecting to have to go back in the room and attempt to put him to sleep, but he was just looking at everything in his bed and eventually he put himself to sleep. At around 2:30 AM (his designated time) I woke up and thought "hmmm, only a matter of time", but then I woke up at 4 AM concerned I missed him crying or did he quit breathing (why do Mothers have to worry so much). So for about 45 minutes I waited to hear something that would tell me he was okay. Finally he started fussing a little bit. I went in and nursed him quickly and he was back asleep and woke up at 7:30 AM. I am so happy!!!! I hope it's not a fluke!
