Here is my 2-cents worth. :-) You did not ask this part, but as far as him going back to sleep right after you feeding him in the morning, that may not be the best habit to encourage. Our DD used to do something similar in which she would want to take a nap about an hour to an hour and a half after getting up. It really threw off the whole day, similar to your dilema. What we did is instead of letting her go back to sleep right away in the morning, we tried to keep her up a little longer each morning until she got to the point where she was taking a mid morning nap instead. (If you did that, this would mean that your wife would not be able to sleep in. I don't know if that is an issue or not.) This then made her second nap earlier, like early to mid afternoon, so it did not interfere with dinner. After a couple months of that, we found that while she would still take the two naps, she really did not need both. So we kept her up and layed her down for her nap right after lunch. She then was at one big nap a day, right after lunch. She had no problem adjusting to it. She was about 11 months when we made the change to one nap a day. Your son may or may not be ready for that yet.

I rarely take naps.....usually a sign I am coming down with something but the first two sessions of water aerobics, I napped for two or three hours each time. If I could take a short nap, wake up feeling rested and alert I would nap more. I have to get undressed, put of pj's, darken the room and close the door if I am going to take a nap.

Awwwwe, she's so sweet; just as with my boys, "They're such angels when they're sleeping!"

Awww! I use to love looking in on my Kiddos when they were asleep. They seemed like little Angels. How precious!
