Giving Up on Sleep

Life in the Keller household is slowly migrating away from survival mode (at times). Amy and I are still sleep deprived, but learning to cope with the bags under our eyes. I have even learned to catnap at red lights on my way to/from work. Hey, it is only slightly worse than those people who text while driving!

Evan still has not found his sleep/wake routine yet, but we have at least managed a few nights of sleeping in the same room together. He occasionally puts up a fight about going back to sleep after feeding. Other times, he completely sacks out. We just take turns rocking him back to sleep. I think I am going to wear out the floor from walking around in circles with him – the only thing that seems to work sometimes.

Amy let me off the hook for a few hours last week to attend fire department trainings on a donated burn structure. I think it only made me more tired, but it was nice to get out and put the gear on again.

Grandma and Grandpa Long briefly stopped by yesterday to get a quick “baby fix”. It was Dan’s first time meeting and holding Evan. They headed back north this morning, but there are rumors that we are going to see them again soon.

Check out the picture of Amy holding Evan (left). I would like it noted that I did not dress him that day…and therefore am not responsible for the fact that his pants are on BACKWARDS!
