8 Weeks: Sleep, Sleep and More Sleep

Well last week the boys turned 8 weeks old. Time is just flying by. They are becoming more and more alert and it is so neat to look at them and them look right back at you. Jackson and Jacob are just the most precious boys in the world. Last week they started sleeping longer at night more consistently. They had been going 4-5 hours between feedings and I thought that was really great (compared to 3 hours between feedings) but they weren't consistent every night. Sunday night a week ago they went 6 hours between feedings and became more consistent with doing that every night. All last week they would do 5-8 hours between feedings once per night. So that sleep, sleep and more sleep in the title is referring to me. I can sometimes get 6 1/2 straight hours of sleep now at once. I can handle that. I also discovered last week that they were no longer wanting to eat and go right back to bed during the day. Now they like to sit up for a while, have some tummy time or cuddle time for an hour or so before they start getting really drowsy and then they will lay down and take a nap. We can still lay them right down after their late feeding in the evening though and they will go right to sleep. We didn't do a whole lot last week other than hang out around the house. Here are some pictures of my growing boys.
