No naps for big boy Everett!

Everett doesn't sleep... EVER!! His naps are maybe 45 minutes long if I'm lucky (aren't newborns supposed to sleep for 2 hours at a time?) He will have a couple good chunks of sleep at night sometimes but lately he's decided even that is not his cup of tea. Unless he is being cuddled... he will be awake sometimes happy mostly fussy. It is making his mommy and daddy CRAZY!! Any sage wisdom or advice from those that have been there?!

He will be one month old tomorrow and has already changed so much, he's aware of his surroundings and loves to stare and coo at his daddy. Pretty soon he will be smiling and sharing his joy with us! He's strong too, holds his head up and will look over your shoulder when he burps.

We are hoping to get up to Portland soon to visit everyone up north. Probably not until February though. For now we are just trying to survive!

We hope everyone had a happy new year! We are looking forward to an "uneventful" 2008! We are excited to just get to know our son and get back to our normal life + 1!

Ah, the elusive sleep. No gems of wisdom... just sympathy :) Payden just finally started sleeping more soundly at night, and taking hour long naps on a semi-regular basis... without being held! It'll get better :) Love to you all!
