"Hotel California"


On our drive back out to Berkeley, we stopped halfway in LA and stayed the night at "hotel Fuller", also known as Alecia, Tripp, and Elgin's home. We loved being able to see some original-NC friends this far west and Jacob adored playing with Elgin and his toys instead of riding in the car for 12 hours in one day! Thanks Fullers for the kindness and good time (and especially Elgin for sharing his ball-pit).




After we arrived back here in Berkeley (home sweet tiny home), Daniel and I decided to bite the bullet and try the Ferber method with Jacob. This involves much crying (or in Jacob's case, yelling at the door while jumping in his crib), but we are so happy to report that we all made it through the first really rough night...and are now all sleeping better. Jacob is now waking just once or twice a night- after sleeping anywhere from 7 to 9 hours at a time. But fret not(stubborn as he is) Jacob continues to fall alseep sitting up and we sometimes have to go "knock him over" ever so gently and cover him up. We love our silly boy.

So glad that y'all got to see them in LA! I am so sure that the boys loved the bonding time (Jacob and Elgin too:) ) Can't wait to see you and good luck with...EVERYTHING.
