Sort of a continuation of hand use. Had to include the sneeze. For Piper, it seems to be a full body experience.

I can barely believe it. They both slept through the night last night. There was a little bit of  noise making around the early am’s, but they quickly went back to sleep. They also went to sleep around 7 o’clock pm last night with maybe 2 words each of protest. Coincidence?

To give you a bit of background, Piper, to this point, had been shouting for about a half hour from 7:00 pm to c. 7:20 pm before falling asleep, in the process waking Samia, who would then finish the hour with screaming drama of her own (Piper, by this point is sound asleep). Finally at 8:00 pm, they would finally both be asleep, presumably exhausted. It was like clockwork.

The only thing I really did differently last night was to move to the nursery for the second half of Piper’s bottle. So she finished her bottle in relative quiet and darkness instead of getting dumped into the nursery after the final feeding amidst bright lights and loud noises. Piper didn’t utter a word. Samia, who usually falls to sleep relatively easily, was added to the nursey a few minutes later. It worked perfectly.

Now if I could only figure out their day schedule. I’m close, although I thought I would exhaust them with a little game of “bat at the keys” and reading (yeah, it’s complicated), but a half hour after putting them down for a little nap, they were apparently deathly starving. Fed them again, and tried the nap at 3:00 pm. They both were a little bit of a problem, but seem to be quiet for the present.
