Carol here... Right now Chris has his arm over the crib and is holding and stroking Jack Yiyun's hand as he slowly falls back to sleep. Jack Yiyun's schedule has been to have a bottle of formula at 6am and then fall back asleep for about an hour. Around 5:30am we heard him making sucking sounds, and when we turned him on his back and removed his fingers from his mouth, he immediately grabbed the bottle and started sucking it down. His ritual of falling asleep is for his eyes to get heavy, and he then fights the sleep, opening his eyes as soon as they close to search for our faces. His eyes stay closed 2 seconds, then 5 seconds, then 10 seconds, and after about 10-15 minutes, he is fully sleeping.
Yiyun slept through the night very well. He did go to bed a little late last night - around 10pm - because of a late nap. How we slept through the night is a different story! The crib is on Chris's side of the bed, and he was continually waking to look at Jack, and he slept nearly the whole night facing Jack. And me, well let's just say I missed my sleepy time meds.
It is so sweet to watch Chris with Jack Yiyun. The way he strokes him, smiles at him, jokes with him, and simply adores him.
