Well I think its OK to announce that Brady is officially sleeping through the night. I definitely did not want to rush this announcement because I was afraid to jinx the whole thing. He pretty much started sleeping through the night on July 7th but last night he slept soooo long! We put him to bed at like 9:15PM and then he woke up at 7AM. He did wake up a few times in the middle of the night but that was just for his pacifier - once you put the pacifier in his mouth he will go right back to sleep, that's easy enough for me! I even had to throw out a bottle that I prepared at 5AM - Brady has been waking up and looking to eat around 5AM so when I got up to put his pacifier in I figured I would just make the bottle so the next time I get up I can feed him. Well, before putting the pacifier in Brady's mouth I dipped it in water (a trick my mom taught me) - well I was waiting in his room (gliding away in my glider) because I really thought he was going to spit it out because he hasn't slept much past 5AM but he didn't wake up.... so, I went to the bathroom figuring that when I am finished he would be up but NOPE! So I went back to bed. I think Chris got up at 6:30AM and I actually asked him if he was alive! hahahaha... I can't believe how great he is sleeping - this is GREAT!
Besides him sleeping great I think we are moving towards NOT having to burp Brady anymore, I know this sounds like its not a big deal but honestly its one of the parts I do not enjoy about being a parent. Burping a baby is really boring/annoying but needs to be done - now just moving Brady will make him burp and he will even burp on his own. We will still continue to burp him until we know for sure that he's ready to officially burp on his own all the time but we're making progress!!!
