UPDATE - 10-29-09.
Hi all, just an update. After re-reading this post, I'm happy to report that DS is now sleeping MUCH better! We're on a solid routine and besides some early morning wakings (I think he would prefer to go to sleep at 6-7 pm and wake up 4-6 am!) things are going well.
Bedtime is 8pm
sometimes he wakes up, sometimes not - NOT sleeping in bed all night with us anymore.
Wake - usually 7-8 am
typically 1 nap, 10-12 or even 1pm.
Second nap is rare b/c he wants to lay down around 5pm - TOOOO late!
I usually bring him in with us when he wakes up around 5am and we sort of doze off/on, nurse, play and finally I roll outta bed around 7-8 and drink copious amounts of coffee. :-)
Things have been a bit more difficult lately b/c molars on coming in, but all in all, I'm SOOOOO happy I found these message boards.
Thanks, and I wanted to share some happy news - it does get better!
