It's a funny thing, timing. I was just about to write a post about Ollie, 'The Wonder Baby', as we call him, at 3 months old. Such a calm, easy-going baby. He's asleep by 6pm, wakes once at around 1am/2am and sleeps until 6.30am. Like clockwork. I could honestly count on one hand the number of times I have had that 'Eyes-about-to-fall-out-of-your-head' Tired feeling since he was born. And with 3 kids, including a newborn, I think that's pretty good!
Then there was last night... the worst night ever! He woke 5 times between the hours of 10pm - 4am. Apparently, after I stumbled back to bed and fell asleep, Nick said I was snoring so loudly, it sounded like a freight train roaring through the house! It even woke up Livvie!
In those first few weeks of Oliver's life, when things were a bit chaotic and he was waking twice a night to feed, the effects of sleep deprivation could be seen on all of us. None more so than poor Nick (having to be very hands-on at home and go to work too!) - he actually drove to work one day with a lens popped out of his sunglasses... and he didn't even notice!
How could he not notice?!?!?!
He has since fixed his sunnies and checks them every morning!
Unfortunately, I also wondered out loud to Nick last night, 'Seriously, what happened to the witching hour? We haven't had a fussy baby for weeks!'.
Of course, I don't even have to tell you what type of baby we had this afternoon...

oh dear! Those are some good sleep deprivation examples...I hope that you don't have too many more to share :-)
What a gorgeous smile from Oli in the first photo - so lovely!
