Night 4
I put Micah in bed and he cried for a minute or two and then fell asleep. He woke up at 3:30am!!!! For a few minutes and then fell back asleep until 5:55am!! Woo hoo! I fed him and he was up for the morning. A little early but what a great night:)
Night 5
I put Micah in his crib and he was asleep within a few minutes. He woke up at 10pm for a minute and cried out (sounded like a bad dream) and then didn't wake again until 3:30am...but this night he was up off and on from 3:30-4:50 where I finally decided to feed him. Then he went back to sleep until 7:30!! I am loving it!
Well as I write this....this day has been crazy!! Micah took his morning nap as usual but refused to go down for his second nap. We tried and tried...and finally at 5:30 drove him around. He did fall asleep but only for about 45 minutes. I put him in his crib now...and I feel like we are starting at night #1 all over again!! Did this happen to any of you??

Florida
So in my last post I said my camera died after our visit with Aunt Kim and everyone. Well...thank God for Ashley and her camera because she got some really great pictures of the kids at the the beach and with their cousins!
I love the smiles on their faces! So adorable!
And I love this one too! So sweet! These two were jumping waves together! We started doing that in Hawaii and every time we are at the ocean they love to do this with me!
My little swimmer! He is really good and he taught himself! So much for lessons...Haha!
The king of the ocean! Seriously check out his muscles!
Another sweet one...she is so happy:)
Look at how excited he is!
I think she liked to lick the salt on her lips....there are a ton of pictures with her tongue out at the ocean...LOL!
Peeing in the ocean...not really good at hiding it. LOL!
Ok...a little better!
At the football game!
Momo! She is so sweet!
Waiting for the team to come by.
Isaiah loved the game and didn't want to miss a thing.
I love it!
Cousins!
Look at those eyes!
Uncle Doug coaching! They won 42-0!! Woo hoo!
The last day with our cousins :( Miss you guys!
I love this one! He slept for an 1 1/2 at the beach! But who doesn't love to sleep there?

Photo Recap
We have had a lot of visitors this year, which was really nice and kept us busy. Then we took a few little trips of our own. We really are homebodies and love to be with our family. Here are some pictures to catch everyone up on what's been going on in the Socha home.
And this one turned out so cute! Micah loved them!
Then we took our trip to Notre Dame. This is the first time ever that they opened up the tunnel to the public...this is where the players come out onto the field. It was great to see the field and experience it so close.
Hope and Micah were sleeping in the stroller at the time of the pictures...in case you were wondering where they were. LOL!
ND Baby!
The grotto....I love this picture of D and Micah praying at the grotto! So sweet!
Isaiah was so excited about his new ND outfit. Funny story....We are at an Italian restaurant and Isaiah got two little drops of sauce on his shirt. He was upset and wanted to know if it would come out...I said it would and put a napkin on him like a bib for the rest of the meal. Well later on we were all talking and instead of Isaiah asking us to get him some bread, he went to get it himself. Well...he climbed up on the chair and reached for it and fell stomach first into his plate of pasta!!! He was covered in sauce!! LOL! So now he wondered if that would come out! I had to give him my shirt to wear out (I had a tank top on....and the only other choice was Hope's pink shirt which he refused to wear). People were probably wondering what was going on at our table....oh well! The joys and laughter of kids. OH and by the way...Ashley got the stain out :)
Cutie Pie:)
This one is so cute of them too! I love their smiles :)
Hopey being silly.
Some cute smiles...he is really smiley!
Micah and Rhea... they are so cute. Micah kept trying to eat her! LOL!
I love all his silly faces!
Yeah some beach time in Florida! I love this one with Carrie and the little girls:) And Camryn's smile!
Yeah....visiting with Christopher! They were so cute together!
And after this picture...my camera died for the rest of the trip :(
Some fall fun with the kiddos outside! I love her smile and laugh!
I just want to eat him!
I love them all! They were being so silly and Micah loved the leaves!
I love when they want to take pictures! I must take a lot because Micah knows to smile when he sees a camera...HA HA!
My little monkey!
Pumpkin time! Isaiah wouldn't touch the insides this year! So funny how they change every year! I actually made the pumpkin seeds this year and they were yummy! I never tried them before...kind of tasted like popcorn!
My grandma and grandpa came to visit from Georgia. I am so glad I remembered to take pictures. Sometimes I am really bad at that. This one was cute. Hope wanted to be in it but not too close. LOL!

Nights 2 and 3
Night 2
Micah's naps were a little messed up today. So when I went to put him to bed, he was so exhausted that he fell asleep while nursing at 7:15. He woke up at 8:45pm crying but went back to sleep after only 8 minutes. Then he did wake a lot during the night. He woke at 10pm and 12 am. Then he cried off and on from 1-2 again, but he did finally go back to sleep. Then he woke again at 3 and 4. I almost fed him at 4 but Dave said to wait a few minutes. Well...I guess we must have feel back asleep because when he cried again it was 5:55 am!! Woo hoo!! It is still a long night and lots of wakings but I hope each night gets better and better! It already is nice not to get out of bed all night long and the best part is that I am not nursing all night long!!
Night 3
I put Micah to bed at 8:24pm and he cried for about 1 minute and was asleep by 8:30pm!! I cant believe it! I used to walk and walk and walk...and sing and sing and sing! And then when I would put him down he would wake a a little while later only to start all over again!
He woke a bunch of times again....10:30pm, 11:30pm, 2:30am, 4:30am, 5:30am (I did feed him then and he went back to sleep until 7:30 am!!) I am so impressed by that little man. We all really need some sleep. I hope the wakings do get less and less (as I am seeing already). I still do hate to see him cry but know that he needs to soothe himself and sleep!
Right now as I type this I put him in his crib for his nap. Not sure if he will go to sleep on his own yet for nap time, but worth a try. He was pushing off when I went to put him in so I thought it was worth a try.
Hope this doesn't bore you...just want to remember this when he gets older! :)

Baby Boot Camp Begins
Well it actually started last night.
Poor Micah! I love him so much! But the poor little guy is not a good sleeper. It is partly our fault because we have always put him to sleep or go in when he wakes up and put him back to sleep. We felt we had to do it when he was little due to the reflux...and lately with all his food/stomach issues....but he doesn't want to be held anymore and throws himself...actually he doesn't know what he wants:). Hence..the beginning of baby boot camp.
Really it is just the cry it out method, which I HATE!! but hopefully it will work! Last night it took him 18 mins to go to sleep (which felt a LOT longer!!) so I thought not bad...but then he cried off and on from 1-2am....poor thing! I just watched him on the video monitor the whole time...LOL! I had to put his real crib bumper in because he can stand but...he cannot get down LOL! Good thing I did or he would have hit his head so many times. Anyway...he cried out again at 3 am for a few minutes and then at 5 am (I fed him then since he was used to eating all night long and I figured he was hungry) then he went back to sleep until 7:30am. Not too bad.
Hopefully better tonight...although his nap was messed up and he was pretty much asleep after I nursed him so we will see how it goes....He was already up once and cried for only 8 minutes (off and on) and is back to sleep.
Pray for us and for Micah that he gets all the sleep he really needs:)
Oh and FYI...I have a ton of new pictures to post but the picture uploader is down right now. Hopefully I will get to it soon:)
