Late into the Night

Late into the night--sometimes very late into the night--the playground and kitchen are open.

Alex is now sleeping in 4 hour cycles. That means his parents are usually awake once per night for a feeding. That's an improvement from three weeks ago, when he would be awake in three hour cycles (implying parents wake up at least twice per night).

The trick is getting him to sleep initially. In this picture, Alison played with Alex last night and fed him well past his bedtime. This was a better use of time than watching the State of the Union address.
