A study in contrasts

Yesterday was a phenomenal day, definitely our easiest one yet, but Nicholas made sure we didn't get too confident, so today was awful. He refused to sleep at all--even in our arms, the usual guaranteed fallback--from 5am until 2pm. And with no playtime, just rotating between eating and fussing. Luckily we went into the day well-rested, so while the morning was horrible, the short naps we got mid afternoon when he finally fell asleep in our arms and an hour ago were enough to bring us back to the world of the living.

The fact that he has now been asleep in the pack n' play for over 2 hours makes me feel much better, providing hope that this morning was an exception rather than some sort of dramatic regression. Knock on wood.

We've added a few more pictures to the Peanut Gallery, including pictures from Nicholas' first walk, my ghetto clothesline contraption in the car, and Nicholas in "Eskimo gear" (the layers of clothes we put over his onesie for the pack n' play, to compensate for the dramatic difference in temperature between being held by us and all alone).
