Wow. Today was a WONDERFUL day with Caleb. He behaved BEAUTIFULLY. He ate, slept, had calm waking periods, fussed a little when he got tired, then slept again. WOW. I'm praying that there will be many more days like today.

Last night wasn't too bad either...he had a hard time getting to sleep initially (put him down then had to pick him up about three times because he wasn't sleeping good...I had to finally straight-jacket (swaddle) him before he would stay asleep. The pattern has been that he'll wake up and want to eat every 3 hours...for the second feeding (3 a.m.) I initially gave him only 2 oz because sometimes he doesn't want to eat during that feeding, but this time he ate it all, I put him down and he continued to fuss so I fed him the other 2 oz and he ate and then slept. The only time he fussed was when he woke up around 6 a.m...and we realized later it was because he was uncomfortable because he had to unload a big bunch of doodoos. For the rest of the day he's been calm, peaceful, happy, satisfied. He slept all of his naps on his tummy. Dave and I haven't decided yet if we're straight jacketing him tonight or putting him on his tummy.

Praying for a good night....
