That is the question. We’ve noticed a pattern with Kyle. He sleeps well every other night. For instance, last night he slept 5 1/2 hours in one straight shot! We felt so refreshed upon waking this morning. Unfortunately the night before that he slept almost 3 hours stright, then in one hour increments from there. Nightmare scenario. Mommy was on the couch from 2 AM to 5 AM. We wonder what tonight will bring, it being a bad night in ‘the pattern.’

In any case, he’s still REALLY cute. We posted the weekend photos. Click “here”:http://www.labrodeurs.org/photos/2005-08/Kyle5/ for photos.

It’s late, so no real update. Just photos. Mom, Dad and Baby are just fine. Peekaboo!

We should have called our website kylebrodeur.org since that’s all the news we seem to update these days. He’s doing fine, and growing fast! He has such chubby cheeks! Check out the new photos.

Kyle had his first ‘big boy’ bath today. He was very cooperative. No crying at all. We hope he continues to like his baths. He smells so good afterwards.

Kyle is also starting to ’see’ things. He’ll follow you around the room, and he will focus on brightly colored objects for quite some time. We have a wild Kandinsky print behind the couch (thanks Erinn), that he really seems to like. He also has a swing with a red hanging toy which he batted at today. Too cute.

Of course we have “pictures”:http://www.labrodeurs.org/photos/2005-08/Kyle2/

Meghann and Kyle had a breakthrough today! Meghann decided to try to breast feed Kyle one more time, and he latched on and ‘munched’ for about 5 minutes before getting fussy. Later, when Dad was home in the evening, we decided to try again and Kyle latched on and had a full breast fed meal! Both sides! I knew that if I kept telling him to take advantage of the ‘opportunity’ while he had the chance that he’d eventually come around. He’s a guy after all. :p Anyway, very exciting for a mother who almost gave up breastfeeding and was resigned to pumping. We’re really hoping that Kyle keeps up the breastfeeding. It’ll make Mom’s life ALOT easier. Yay! No pictures, of course.
