this photo is for dad- i just noticed this a few minutes ago, but close; nice bun, dad! actually, it's sarah standing behind dad- a totally accidental shot! i must say, it really does look like dad had a great hair-do going on! 
anyway, cole has had two better nights in a row. i'm not even concerned about jinxing it by saying it because i don't think it's possible to jinx his unpredictability! he woke up at 4.15 this am when kelvin used the bathroom before getting ready to head out for work, and after about an hour, he was back to sleep. i had to get up and lay him back down, rub his back, all that, but he eventually did fall back asleep. the night before, he got up around 3, grumbled softly to himself for about 30 minutes and then was out again. wow- i am impressed! and i do feel that i should clarify something: this sleep thing isn't so much that i think he's old enough to sleep thru the night- it's an issue because by the time he was 8 weeks, cole was sleeping thru the night on a regular basis (as in every single night). then just before we moved it changed, and i understand that a rather large change in routine can really do a number on a baby's sleep habits, but it's gotten no better (worse, in fact) since then. so i stress that this is NOT normal for him; while it may be another baby's nature to not sleep all night until they are a year or more, this is not cole's normal behaviour. there's also the fact that he doesn't just wake up- he wakes up and will stay awake for two hours, sometimes more. that is why it concerns me so much...
