Ho'ea!!! Yipppeeeee!!! he started doing it just when he turned 2 months old and has been doing it consistently now for the past 2 weeks. (Maybe just 1 or2 nights of the past 14, he got up once, but only in the early morning). Hallelujah! Now if only we could get his older brother to do the same...
Yes, kaua still gets up 1x a night pretty regularly. Usually for his "baba" which is now his word for milk. I give all the credit for sleeping through the night to the fact that Ho'ea sleeps in his crib in another room. With kaua, because we were living at my mom's house for his whole 1st year of life, we had no choice but to have him sleep in our room. And because of it, I could hear his every stir, and at the slightest possibility that he sounded uncomfortable or that he was getting up, i would go pick him up and feed him. But because Ho'ea is sleeping in his own room, i dont get up (or even hear) his nighttime stirrings (but yes, i do hear actual grunts/cries if he is up), so I dont pick him up and unintentionally wake him when he isn't really up.
AND, Ho'ea is such a good waker-up-er in the morning. Many times, I'll hear him stirring and I'll go over and check on him and he'll just be up, happily looking at his mobile or out the window. ITS WONDERFUL! None of this crying when he gets up business that his older brother still does. I have read about babies like Ho'ea and have always been envious of those stories and perhaps even somewhat in disbelief that it could really be like that, but its true!!! I have one of 'THOSE babies!
Speaking of difficulty sleeping, guess who's crying and stirring right now (it's night)...the older brother. Duty calls.....
congrats bri! i hope you keep this blog forever. it's fun to read about how your boys are growing up.
