For the past three or four days, Burke has randomly been putting himself to sleep. I didn't want to get too excited, because even though he's technically 15 weeks old, he's really only 7 weeks old. It could be a coincidence. So I kept bribing people (with my big sad tired eyes) to take care of Burke for a couple of hours at a time this weekend while I caught some extra shut-eye.
Then, on top of the putting himself to sleep deal, we experienced something undeniable:
On Saturday night, Burke went to sleep at 8:00 p.m. He didn't wake up to eat until 2:45 a.m. 
Then, last night (on Sunday night), Burke went to sleep at 10:00 p.m. He didn't wake up to eat until 4:10 a.m.
I am excited about these developments. We may be getting close to a sleep regimen! That would be so wonderful. I'm going to keep encouraging his sleeping efforts as much as I can.
And in addition to the great sleeping? He's smiling more! I've been saying, "He just doesn't smile as much as Ruby." But I forgot to take into account the fact that he's just now 7 weeks old, developmentally. But this weekend? That boy has been smiling like it's his job! :) He's even been flirting with his Nana and Aunt Sarah.
Anyway, he just woke up, so I'm gonna go grab him, but I just wanted to say that a sleeping, smiling baby? Well, that's Something Wonderful. :)
Do you like us? Well? Do ya? Do ya?
