They are Out to Get Us

All of you out there that said Baby Number 2 would be so easy and sleep so well were W-R-O-N-G. Apparently my kids (whether Number 1, 2 and I am sure Number 3) do not sleep. It is crazy. Newborns should sleep. I remember someone even said, "Your second will sleep so much you will think something is wrong." Well my second sleeps so little, I think something is wrong (and I remember thinking the exact same thing with Hudson). Last night, JR called Cannon our little Hudson Jr.

Thank goodness Hudson has been sleeping well. Except last night he was up a couple times with nightmares. So, long after our normal bedtime, JR and I were still up with the kids. One of us with Hudson and the other with Cannon. We had to laugh... it is part of being parents... but we couldnt help but think the boys were out to get us. It seemed that as soon as one was quiet, the other would start up. I am sure this is just the beginning.

These photos of Cannon 'sleeping' are funny because JR and I were talking about how Cannon finally went to sleep during dinner and how cute he looked... seriously, right then, he opened his eyes and looked at us as if to say, "NOPE - still not sleeping!"

I was watching the news this morning and they had a story about how to get your babies to sleep. Of course I'm sure you've tried a lot of methods, but I thought I would send you the link any way. If you try it, let me know if it works.
