Lucy, when I look at Simon’s week 27 picture, it is startling to me how similar you look to your brother. This was a big weekend for you. You got your first “real” food (baby oatmeal), AND we decided that we’d had enough of sleeping in 1.5 – 2 hour bursts, and we started your sleep training. You were a champ, and the first night only cried for an hour. You didn’t cry at all the second night. And the third night you had a bit more difficulty, with it taking about 30 minutes (give or take) to settle down. We certainly appreciated the long stretches of sleep that you allowed us to have this weekend. Keep it up! Well rested parents are happy parents!
