Up until 2 days ago, Ethan and I had worked out somewhat of a "schedule" on his nap times, bedtime etc. I was pretty excited!! But, suddenly 2 days ago he decided that he wanted to only nap for 45 minutes at a time (at most) vs. his normal 1.5-2 hrs and he also decided that his bedtime should now be somewhere between 10:30 and midnight versus 6:30-7:30p.m. Luckily he decided to pull this little trick out on a Friday night so Dave could help me tag-team the craziness. Just as we'd set him down after rocking him to "sleep"...we'd turn the monitor on and hear little squeaking from Ethan (yes, he squeaks!!) Anyway, as Dave's parents can vouch for on Saturday night....he did this again and finally I decided to bring him downstairs with all the Christmas lights and fire going and see if he'd fall asleep gazing at the pretty surroundings...he he. Well, the little stinker is the sweetest thing sometimes just smiling at you when you really want him to go to sleep, but how can you really resist the big grins....even if it's at 11:30p.m. and you just want to go to sleep!! We did finally fall asleep downstairs in the rocking chair with my finger as a pacifier (oh yes, Ethan is also a baby that isn't crazy about pacifiers...he'd rather a finger - hey, at 11:30....I'll do whatever it takes!)

and just when you think you have him figured out, he'll start teething! It is hard to resist when they are so fun at night :)
Haha! This is exactly as we learned in psychology. The vocal development begins now as well (hence the squeaking).
Other than that, keep up the good work guys, I'm rooting for you!
