We gave Sam his first solid food (other than rice cereal) last night and he devoured it. Every last drop of sweet potatoes was gone. There wasn't even an inkling of a splatter on his shirt. He ate it all! 
And once again I have fallen suit to the second baby syndrome. Sorry Sam. With Bo, I was gung-ho and made all of this first foods. I made batches of sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash and froze them in tiny containers to thaw out when needed. This time, I went to the Commissary, stocked up on pre-packaged, pre-portioned organic baby food to pop open when needed. So much easier and so much quicker, but oh so much wasted plastic. Sorry Mother Earth.
But, I digress. Sam. Yes. The starving child. Holy cow. I feel guilty. Tough love isn't what he needed to sleep more at night. Food is what he needed.

He ate the sweet potatoes at about 7:00pm, I nursed him around 7:30, he was in bed at 8:00, fell asleep shortly thereafter, and did not wake up until 11:30pm. That's 3.5 hours folks. 3.5 hours. And it continued through the night. It was wonderful. I only had to get up and nurse him twice. I say that's PROGRESS!
So today, I am going to feed him and fill his belly and hope the 3.5 hours turns in to 4.

I suggest he start a diet of cheeseburgers, french fries, and beer QUICKLY. This always puts me to sleep. Hurray for Sam the eater!
That's pretty funny, because I thought it was kind of silly to make your own baby food with Ashlyn. But, I made almost all of Christopher's! But, with Ashlyn, I would have been cooking just to feed her, since I was living off peanut butter sandwiches, whatever friends would feed me, and thai take-out.
Hoping more sleep for you, though I do find it sad that you are so excited about 3.5 hours. Sad.
