old school

Zane's sleeping habits and schedule have gone from sleeping anytime and anywhere, to loving being swaddled, to fighting the swaddle, and finally to preferring to be still and in a crib (well, at least the crib is still - he's all over the place!).  His latest development is sleeping in his own room all by himself since Friday night!  He's taken naps in his crib from the beginning, but we got spooked by all of the SIDS prevention tips in our baby prep classes and had him sleep in our room at night in the bassinet of the pack 'n play.   We were going to move him at 4 months after the peak SIDS risk was over, but then realized that while we have the a/c in our bedroom, Zane's room can get pretty toasty.  So... we waited until the 6 month mark, and it's staying pretty cool at night now.  He's also been sleeping from about 7:30/8 until 5:30ish in the morning for several weeks now.  He even surprises us and sleeps in past 6 occasionally, giving us a taste of even better things to come :)

Here's a look back at his fabulous daily stretching routine he used to do every morning when he was unswaddled:
