Ok so recently we've hit 2 milestones....About August 1st Preston began to sit up....
It took about a full week for him to really sit up and stay put. He still falls over some but he's getting his balance and really enjoys his new view of the world. Although he still can't get into a sitting position he is moving a lot. We lay him down in one spot and before we know it he has rolled himself to the other side of the room.
And last night Blake hit a milestone. Blake has always been a really good sleeper. He would go to bed without any trouble. In fact if it wasn't for that trait the night Preston was born might have been harder. I placed him in his crib around 9PM on New Years Eve and then when my water broke about 10 he was sound asleep when family came to be with him while we went to have a baby. Blake never woke up during the night, so the next morning he wakes up to find Mommy and Daddy gone and that his baby brother is here.
So in January at 2 1/2 he still slept in a crib...then in March he got his big boy bed. He slept pretty good in that for a month to six weeks. Then in May he developed the "There's Monsters in My Room" so about 1AM every night he started to come to our bed and sleep. Between Blake wiggling up a storm and Preston waking every few hours I've had enough. So last night we worked on letting Blake know he is not allowed to come to our bed in the middle of the night. He got up and cried about 3 times...but he slept there all night. And when he woke up he said "I slept in my bed all night!" We are all so proud of him!!!!
