Milestone: STTN?

Last night was the first night that Sven slept from sun down to sun up.

Of course, it was also the night that my neighbors had a huge screaming fight on their porch at 2 in the morning.  So, although Sven slept through the night, I sure didn't.

I'd like to hope for another try tonight but I'm not sure that it's going to stick.  Two nights ago, he woke up at 12:30, which is pretty normal for him.  We've been doing one night feeding around then since the middle of August, when I dropped the "dream feed".

Once a night is very do-able, so I won't be too disappointed if he wakes up tonight.  I can't say that about a repeat performance of my neighbors' fight.

Most of the time, Soren and Carl don't really interact with their new baby brother.  They do their own things, neither commenting nor complaining about our new addition, and he does his own things (eating and sleeping).  But when they do interact, Soren and Carl are really loving to Sven.  Those moments are very sweet to me. Like last night, when Soren asked me if Sven could sit in his lap.  He actually makes that request pretty frequently.  And then he sits there, with Sven cuddled in his lap, looking very proud and happy. Often, one of the boys will tell me very earnestly, "I want Sven to be a part of our family forever."   What mother wouldn't melt at that? In the evenings, after scripture study, Soren likes to make Sven "talk", sharing his thoughts on the day.  Soren uses the same gravelly voice that Scott does to put words in the baby's mouth. "My favorite part of the day was eating," he'll say, while holding up Sven's ...
