Sleep!

So last night an amazing thing happened!  We fed Micah and went to bed around 9:45 and it was around 4:45 when he woke up!  That's like 7 hours of sleep!!  I woke up around 2:30 wondering why my baby boy wasn't crying yet, but he was just sleeping away!  It was so great!  He's been sleeping 5 hours at a time at night, which is pretty wonderful!  But I could definately keep taking 7 hours!  I haven't wanted to write about it, because I've been so scared of jinxing it, but I want to be able to remember how good of a baby he is, so here we go! 
Micah has been such a great sleeper at night from the very beginning, and we are spoiled.  At nights, we feed him, change him and put him in his swaddle blanket.  We then put him in his rock and play sleeper, turn the lights off and he falls asleep on his own!  In the middle of the night, he wakes up, I feed him and change him and put him back in his sleeper and he grunts and coos for about 5 minutes and is back to sleep.  We don't have to hold him while he falls asleep, don't have to rock him, none of that and it is amazing!  We've only had 4 nights that he was cranky in the middle of the night and wouldn't fall asleep by himself, and one of those nights was in the hospital when the nurses kept coming and going all night.  And nothing is better then waking up in the morning to him already awake, but just sitting there cooing and looking around..
Our plan is when we get back from Alabama, we'll be moving him into his own room, in his big boy crib, so we'll see if this happy sleeping baby continues then!
