Sleep When the Baby Sleeps
My friend Craig gave me the best piece of parenting advice I think I've gotten yet. A few days after we brought Max home he called me and said, "Dude, I'm going to give you my best piece of parenting advice. Sleep when the baby sleeps." I think that he actually may have been making a joke, (because that's probably the advice that everybody gets when they are new parents), but Craig, it was right on. You are the man!Max has actually been sleeping really well. At night he is sleeping about 4 hours at a time. He's been eating at about 9 or 10 pm sleeping till 2 am, we change and feed him and then he generally sleeps till 5 or 6 am. People have said that's pretty good. GO MAX! He doesn't like sleeping flat on his back so he's been sleeping a lot in his carrier and he likes being propped up on pillows (see picture).
So Max, you are doing awesome!

Erica sleeping with her son is an awesome picture. You know she's asleep, but you can tell by the position of the arm that she is protecting her baby.
Hi Ryan, Erica & Max:
Sleep is good. Sleep when the baby sleeps is even better. Saw Kelli & David D. today and they want us to pass congrats on to the new parents. It's almost a month. Are mom & dad still hanging in there???? Took GG down to the river tonight after supper and some kids were floating under the bridge in the current. GG just about had a fit. Would you let Max do that? Have a great week and keep the pics coming!
Awww ryan!!! He's getting so big! He seemed to like Fuego tonight! ^.^ See you Sunday! Give Max a hug for me!
