Oh happy day!!  George is such an amazing little guy!  Here's the scoop . . . We had a VERY exciting day yesterday.  George and I went with Wendy and Mason to our first baseball game.  The Rockies lost, but we had a great time.  I was soooo impressed we stayed through the entire game.  I didn't think I would make it, but I managed great.  We saw the first pitch, we sang the national anthem and Take Me Out to the Ballgame, we cheered and clapped.  It was good fun.  George was supposed to nap during the game, but that clearly wasn't happening.  He was super alert and interested in everything that was going on.  He loved it!!

After my trip away this was a good chance for me to catch up with Wendy on how George has been eating - kinda poorly - and why we thought that was.  Are you ready for THIS . . . it is a GOOD thing!!  We came to the conclusion that maybe he was ready to drop a feeding. WoooHoooo!!  So last night the plan was to go from 8 pm - 8 am with no feeding in the middle there.  So, we would NOT be waking him up between 10 pm - 12 am to eat a "last" bottle of the day.  I was a little nervous I'd have a 4 am wake up call, but Wendy and I thought maybe he was ready.  Ohhhhh yeah!!

So, while Jeff & I ate dinner, George was dozing in his swing a bit.  We finally decided to wake him up at 8:30 pm for the last bottle.  He easily ate it and went right to sleep in his crib.  Not a peep!  Off to bed we all went.  Jeff and I woke up a little after 6 am.  I turned on the monitor and could hear him in there - peep peep.  He was gurgling and babbling a little, but not upset at all.  I was sooooo proud of him - and us for figuring this out.  I couldn't stand it!  A little after 7 am, I went in there to get him.  We played for a little while.  He's always so happy in the morning.  I took some cute pics of him.  Around 7:30 am Jeff gave him his first bottle of the day.  At 8:30 am he went BACK to bed for his morning nap.  He's a sleeper.  We clearly learned the rules on how to sleep like a Manthe Baby!!

He went ELEVEN HOURS!!  GO GEORGE!!!  Now I can go back to my 9 - 10 pm bedtime!  ;)  It only took us 14 weeks to get here!!  Oh happy day!!
