Are you a night owl?
Sam and Nicole sleep great during the day but as soon as the TV and lights go out at night they come alive (especially vocal is Nicole)! This is not what we want to happen obviously… Last night Nicole ate 2 oz. (usual time/qty.) at midnight and then was crying and looking for food again at 1:30 which she then ate 3 oz. and finally was satisfied enough to go back to sleep. Sam didn’t make a peep until 3:30 which would have been the normal time for his sister who then slept until 8:30. Jim managed to get a better nights rest than I did because he never heard Sam at 3:30 – but he is the only one who can take care of Ben when he comes in during the night since I still can’t pick him up.
Our new routine is to keep them on a schedule of eating during the day every 3-4 hours and then let them sleep at night up to 6 hours if they are willing. We’ll try this for another week until we see how their 2 week visit to the Peditrician goes.

Grab a little Crown and put it the mix, they may be crawling and sleeping through the night asap!!!
Obviously, you know you should not do this. But if it worked, we’d all be alcoholics.
Take care, send pictures soon!
