Sleep Begets Sleep

We're surviving as working parents this week (barely). After our Wacky Wednesday night, Maximo returned to his normal charming self, so who knows what happened. I'm still sticking with the teeth or tummy theory. He has two new teeth coming in on either side of his top front teeth and his tummy, well, who knows? He ate a bit of cheese at dinner (more than usual, so maybe?)
Lately, we've been chopping up food and putting it on this highchair tray so he can practice eating. He loves it! So far, he's been eating Cheerios, pieces of bread, little cubes of cheese, pieces of banana and "potato balls" (just little morsels of packed together mashed potatoes..yummm!) He really enjoys feeding himself and while he's doing that we get spoonfuls of food into him too.
Again, I'm always anxious posting about good sleep, but he's continuing to sleep through the night. It's amazing. Life is so different now. I think we're all glowing;0) Last night, Maximo slept from 6:00 to 6:15 this morning, then took a nap from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm (What?) then he fell asleep in the car on our way home from our lunch date for about 30 minutes and was in bed tonight around 6:45. Have we done it? Is it permanent? Oh, how we hope so. I can't believe we didn't sleep through the night for 11 months!
