It's snowing and blowing

We were supposed to spend the day outside at the farmers market and international festival (that our friend works really hard to put together every year), but the weather has not cooperated this year (last year was HOT and sunny).  Luckily, Shayna's friend Hannah came by to keep us entertain this morning (and her mom Yael and baby brother Noah) and it warmed up enough later for Elijah and I to get out of the house.  While Nahum and Shayna napped, Elijah and I enjoyed the festival (it was moved in doors).  (Nice work, Jenny!)  I enjoyed the outing itself as well.  It's so much more relaxed going out with #2, plus he sleeps better even with bumpy sidewalks.

The main excitement in our life has been Elijah and sleep, or lack there of.  Last Friday/Saturday he stopped sleeping during the day.  Catnaps here and there totaling ~2-3hr and his night sleep was getting worse.  Over the week, nights improved (still up every 3-4 hrs but he went back to sleep each time) but the days were the same.  After trying all soothing techniques known to man, I began to wonder if we weren't interfering with his sleep by doing them.  Sure enough he just wanted to be left alone and now, when tired, all I do is put him in bed, he squawks a couple times then goes to sleep.  His longest night stretches are reaching 5-6hrs also.  He's turning back into my easy baby again plus he's all smiles at me when awake.  He even gave Nahum and I his first chuckles today.

I've gotten too far behind on pictures but here's a few that the non-FBers haven't seen as they're been posted by my phone.  I just decided to skip ahead to March as far as updating my FB albums so here y' go.
