Dream feeds and Teething

We have always woken Miles to give him a dream feed around 10:30pm or 11pm before Richard and I went to bed.  Then Miles would usually last until morning.  Recently we decided to try not giving him a dream feed, expecting that he would wake around 3 or 4am, since that is what had happened when we tried this a month or so ago.  Well, to our surprise he went to bed at 7:30pm and didn't wake up until 6:30am!  We have done this for about 5 nights or so in a row and all with pretty much the same results.  And he doesn't wake or stir several times throughout the night like he used to do. Yay!   He is sleeping much better.  I know there will always be bumps in the road, but it is so nice to know he is capable of going 11 hours!

Miles is getting his first tooth!  One of his bottom front teeth is definitely coming in.  We can feel it, but it is very hard to get a picture- sorry.  Yesterday he didn't nap very well and was sad, but today he is much more himself.

Yay!!! He's sleeping through the night. That's so wonderful. I'm pretty jealous of Miles tooth. Emma has gone through 6 teething sessions and no teeth. boo! haha. Way to go Miles!!

Had to jump over and get caught up and holy cow I wish I lived in A2! HE is SOOO cute! I just want some of those hugs! Can we get him and Maddie together when you guys come to Utah? You are lucky he is sleeping so well! He is one strong boy as well. Lucky you , lucky him! We need to talk, perhaps on my car ride to Utah (we move) on Saturday! Love and miss you guys.
