Samuel is a good sleeper. He’s not sleeping through the night yet but he DOES sleep in his own bed and he usually goes down at around 9pm each night without much trouble. This is completely different from our experience with Thomas. I’m not sure if it’s a personality thing or if we are just doing things better the second time around. Each night I give Samuel a bath at around 8:30, swaddle him in the MIracle Blanket and then put him down in the crib. Sometimes he cries a little, but it usually doesn’t take long before he’s asleep for at least a full 4 hours.

By the way – I ran a photo action on this image and I’m not sure if I like it. It’s supposed to be artsy and old-fashioned but I’m afraid it makes him look a little washed out.

What’s summer without a water photo? We had our yard cleaned up and it has never looked so good. The hedges are pruned, lawn mowed and edges trimmed. So I had the urge to water the lawn in an attempt to bring it back from the brown straw that it has become over the last month or so. At least it’s tidy, short straw thanks to the clean up job.

I took this photo because I loved the light coming in through our bathroom window. Thomas was supposed to be getting ready for daycare but I’m not exactly sure what he was doing instead. Good photo opp though…
