Alex Is Smiling...Or Is He?

So everyone keeps asking me how we get Alex to smile in his pictures. Honestly there is almost zero work involved. He is always smiling during the day. However, if you would like to visit at 12:30-1:00 in the morning you will find a totally different child. Alex has slept really well his whole life except the past couple of weeks. He turns into the devil when the sun goes down. He doesn't know what he wants. All he knows is he wants it now. He will cry for hours on end until we bring him in our bed with us. Finally, last night we were able to stay calm long enough that he cried himself back to sleep (only took 45 minutes!) and slept until 4:30 when he woke and I was happy to nurse him. I don't have any pictures of these nights for two reasons. We are in our underwear at 1 AM. Also, I would not want anyone to see us (or hear us) at our worst. Don't worry, we do not beat our child (I'm sure some of our neighbors think that). We will get through this somehow and hopefully we will have our bed back to just the two of us by the end of the week. :)

Don't worry this too will pass. We have all been there, even losing our beds to the kids just for a little extra sleep.
