Sleepless in Fresno

I'm so tired I can't even think of what I was going to write in this post. I should go to bed right now. Not that it would do much good. Sam is now almost three and a half months old and he is stuck in this horrible glitch in which he is wide awake every 2 hours during the night and thrashing wildly and fitfully most of the time between. He sleeps in our bed with us, which is great. But he won't last in his crib. He doesn't even sleep for more than half an hour to 45 minutes for naps during the day. And getting him to do that is sometimes a struggle that may take an hour of messing with him. An hour of frustration for half an hour of peace?!?!? We have been trying to figure out what his problem is, why he is doing this, without any luck and then some friends offer some perspective and clarity. Sam is not in need of a solution. There is no why. Sam just IS. This is the season that we are in and Samuel is his own person and with each growth spurt and developmental milestone comes another side effect that may cost us something...like sleep. But look at him. What are you going to do? How can you get all upset about it when he is this cute?
