4 Months 5 Days

We have a healthy, happy and extremely cute 4 month-old who hates sleeping.

It is ruining our lives.

Melissa thinks I'm overdramatic when I say this. I'm just telling it like it is. His lack of sleep is drastically lowering our quality of life every day. There is no getting around it. It's hard not to think about how much better our lives would be if Eli slept through the night. He wakes up at least thrice each night to eat and/or "party." Last night, out of nowhere, he decided he would bawl his head off if we ever took our hands off him and stuck to that all night. Tonight he has decided the same. 

Out of some combination of heroism, pragmatism and desperation, Melissa graciously offered to sleep with him in bed tonight while I sleep downstairs. I couldn't be more grateful. But this is not a longterm solution for my valiant wife.
