Happy Valentine's Day

Lucie and Ryan gave us a Valentine's Day gift better than roses or a box of chocolates -- sleep! Last night was one of their best nights ever, sleeping from 8pm to almost 3am, and then back to 7:30am.

According to doctors, "sleeping through the night" does not mean sleeping from evening to morning; instead it means 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, of which we are within one hour. (That bit of knowledge gives us a new perspective when parents say their babies slept through the night at an early age.)

So, I wonder what they call it when a baby sleeps from 7pm to 7am ... parental nirvana? For now, we're celebrating -- bring on the See's "Nuts and Chews"!
