Two years!!! Don't say that! I'm hoping for the magical 3 month mark. Chloe woke up every 2 hours last night and we're starting to go a bit mad as a result. That said, she has been sleeping much better - but as soon as our confidence rises, we have a really bad night. Oh well, I'm 95% sure we're only having one, so I can appreciate the experience.

Archie more or less sleeps through now, and he's only five months. This seems little short of miraculous considering what a terrible sleeper his big brother was (and he still wakes 1 or 2 times a night more often than he sleeps right through...)
But they are lovely so I don't mind!

Beeps slept through from 3 weeks but then regressed at 2 yrs to waking up min of once a night

I love the way you are slowly warming her to Jazz. ;-) Sylvia is such a sweet name. And she looks sooooo sweet.
Two years!!! Don't say that! I'm hoping for the magical 3 month mark.
A bit of hyperbole. she slept through from 14 months or so. Before that it was pure hell. For the longest time she woke up EVERY hour. After that it was actually Ophelia and Elisabeth taking turns waking up. :-) Funnily enough our employee delivered her second baby a month before and also had a hellish time. Every morning we would open the shop and lament over how little sleep we had. :-) Im pretty sure that if Elisabeth had been first, I would have waited with a second child. But y'know I didn't and I'm VERY happy: they differ only about 21 months in age.

Sylvie, Ophelia and Elisabeth are all very cute!
Chloe has actually only woken us up once per night for the last three nights in a row now. Pretty good! Of course, as I type this, I realize I'm totally jixing myself.

<3 the sleeping kids pics. i've developed the creepy habit of staring at Sylvie while she sleeps. Probably therapy-fodder for later in life.

These photos of babies reminded me that I never really did that "first year" collage I was going to do; well, Picasa makes it easy, if it doesn't exactly make it very flexible or good-looking...

Here's a collage for Tallulah's first year. Not as active as Ava...

― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 20 October 2009 23:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Cool! So that's just a template on Picasa?
― tylerw, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 01:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes, there are various collage options. For the most flexibility you should probably go with "Picture Stack" (or whatever it's called) and then just drag, reorient and resize your images around, but this is "Mosaic", where you don't have much control over the size, placement or order of anything. Just whacked them in there, added text and there you go.
It's just struck me how the leap from 8 months to 10 months seems quite significant, physically. Faces mature quite a bit in that period, it seems.
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 11:18 (fourteen years ago) link
(And note how Tallulah - only 5 pounds at birth and incredible-expanding-baby thereafter - fits into that ye-ye dress at half the age her sister did!)
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 11:19 (fourteen years ago) link
It's incredible how Ava-like and Lulu-like they both look from the very start. Tallulah totally wins on comedy expressions, though (still the case, I think).
― Madchen, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 17:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Yep. Ava is earnest and (often) sweet, Lulu is just a total goon.
