Easton's sleeping schedule

When Easton was first born we were just praying that he would sleep, not really for anything in particular just that we could get some rest. It didn't take long before he was sleep through the night!!

At about a month he was sleeping from 10:30-6am, wow!!! It was so crazy!!! Then he slowly started sleeping from 10:30 to 7 and then 8. We just kept praying that he would sleep more as we realized we needed more sleep and a little more "us" time. 

At the beginning of the year we decided that it would be so nice for him to go to sleep about 8 so but I figured it would take a little time to get there. But then I realized that he was getting super sleepy about 7:30 or 8 and if I fed him at 7 then he would konk out! And he did!! 

We are so lucky to have a baby who likes his sleep!!!

But there are downfalls to this: lack of flexibility when it comes to getting off the schedule, he gets tired and very angry if he doesn't get his rest. But if we do stick to this rhythm then he is good to go! 
He is usually up around 7:30am or 8, then I feed him and he is awake until 9:30 and then he goes down for a nap. Sometimes he'll sleep for 45 minutes or even 2 hours!!! When he wakes up, around 11 or 11:30, we feed him and he is awake till 1:30 or 2, he then sleeps pretty much the same amount as the morning. About 4pm he is awake till 6:30 and we start getting ready for bed. 

He is a happy boy!!
