My little break-dancer

my little singer

I've been nicely criticized for not updating my blog very often (you know who you are) which I completely recognize and will admit to. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I will do better. As long as you keep reading that is.

With that, here's a video of Reed. One of these times I think he'll actually put his whole fist in his mouth and get it stuck.

Weber State Track at Big Sky Championships

Continuing in Weber State's long-standing tradition of excellent hurdlers, Jace Nye (bro-in-law) defended his 2009 steeplechase title in this year's championship meet on Friday. I think Julia's hand made "Go Jace" flag really gave him the extra boost he needed.
To keep your attention, here are the last two laps of the race.

Sleep is overrated anyway

It's 12:15 in the AM, I have to be at work at 8 AM, and Reed is still wide awake. Even after he goes to bed I know he'll wake up 2 more times. With any luck I'll get a good solid 5 hours of sleep tonight.
Lately he's been quite the night owl, and he likes company. Being only 6 months old the closest company he can find are his parents. Sometimes he'll wake up 5 times a night to eat. It's kind of getting a bit old.
Reed also likes to start his day early, between 5-6 in the morn. The other day he decided to wake up at 2:30 AM, and didn't go back to sleep until 7 that night. It was a long day.
Parenting books will tell you that when you're ready to have a baby start to sleep through the night, you can put him in bed and he will magically learn to cry himself to sleep. Of course, the flaw in this belief is that you are led to believe that YOU are in control of the situation, when in reality we all know who's calling the shots.
Reed's down. I'm debating on whether or not I should go to sleep again, only to wake up in another 45 minutes to feed him again.
This feels a lot like those Friday the 13th movies...don't ever fall asleep!

Editors note: I did not get the 5 hours like I'd planned, it was more like 3 1/2.
