Sleeping through the night

Luke has been sleeping through the night fairly consistently for the past couple of weeks. He still won't go to bed at the same time, but at least he sleeps until 7:00 or 8:00, which is a real blessing. He seems to be a bit of a night owl, though, and will not go to bed any earlier than 9:30 pm. We've tried to put him down earlier, but he just screams and wants to be up. He's usually ready to sleep between 9:30 and 10:30 pm, but since I'm a night owl, too, I can handle that.

If Luke falls asleep around 7:30 pm and seems ready for bed, he'll be up again and ready to eat by 10:00 pm. He needs that extra feeding to get him through the night. He's now eating 6-8 ounces every 4-5 hours. He has quite the appetite and is right around 16 pounds!

Yesterday, he took a 3 hour nap from 1:00 to 4:00 pm, which was awesome. I was able to get a lot done around the house. Usually, Luke will only nap for 45 minutes tops, once in the morning, and once in the afternoon. Sometimes, he still catnaps a little in the evening. The schedule is slowly becoming more regular, which is nice. A little predictability would come in handy.

He's been laughing like crazy, and his new thing is sticking his tongue out and squealing with laughter; it's adorable! He sure loves to jump and spin in his exersaucer. He has fun playing with his toys and squealing in that thing for about an hour at a time; he's precious to watch!
