Quinn has a newfound love of playing outside. Today was an absolutely beautiful day, and I had a little overtime in the bag at work this week, so I came home early and we all went over the the nearby park. Quinn had a great play in the sand, on the swings and slides, and walking around the empty wading pool. A great afternoon!
We're sleep training again. After a hard-won relative peace, things went off the rails during Christmas travel. Then we achieved a new less-strict equilibrium post-Christmas. When we traveled to Wichita and we all got sick, sleep went completely to hell in a handbasket. I guess we have to cut Quinn some slack - I certainly wasn't on a train or an airplane for long-haul travel at Quinn's age. That doesn't make the sleep challenge any easier though.
It's Night 4 now. It's going well at bedtime, and he's made it mostly through the night the last two nights. The 430AM wakeup is the tough one though - he's used to nursing then, and he's usually pretty awake and quite able to scream for an hour until we (well, Bec) just get him up. That one may take awhile. The particularly sad part is knowing that any time we travel or get sick we'll have to go through the same training again. Hopefully it at least gets easier every time.

Quinn is doing great with sleep! Yesterday morning his put himself back to sleep in under 2 min at 3:45 am and slept til 5:15, this morning he put himself back to sleep in 2 min at 5am and slept until 5:45! Last night he fell asleep on his own in less than 1 min (he was very tired)...hopefully this is a sign of things to come...
