And Then There Was Cole - Sleep is good and the carseat miracle

So, finally, Cole is sleeping from 6.30 at night until 6 in the morning. He was waking at 4am to nurse and then sleep until 7, but the past two nights he's woken at 2am and we give him the soother and then he sleeps right until 6. I can live with this. We're hoping that in the next couple of days he won't even wake at 2am. He's very good at going to sleep on his own at 6.30 (no soother!) and every night this impresses me.



... and, in other news, it's a CARSEAT MIRACLE
Cole used to scream and go on like an exorcist baby in the car seat. Again, there's not much I can do when I'm driving, so I would usually just have to let him cry. But, FINALLY, I figured it out!!!! He had a bunch of toys coiled on his car seat handle right in front of him, and I took it off. That's it. That's the CARSEAT MIRACLE. He now doesn't have anything fun to look at and it's been profoundly blissful ever since. Car rides are now peaceful. Lovely journeys. Fun adventures. No longer are they monster-scream-filled kilometers of terror. Ahhhhhh the serenity. Took me long enough. He's 4 months old.
