Hello everyone. Well, we’re still here getting through the sleepless nights as best we can. We have finally resorted to taking “shifts” here at the house. We figured there is no sense in trying to sleep between the 2 to 3 hour feedings, usually one of the little dudes is up fussing anyway.
We had a wonderful Christmas here at the Garcia home and hope and pray that each and everyone of you did as well. I finally was able to convince Kristi to get out for a “night out”, much to the delight of both grandmas who were chomping at the bit to babysit the boys together. So this past friday Kristi and I went to watch the new Ben Stiller movie Night at the Museum and had a very nice dinner at The English Inn. My “Plan” was to then go and have a couple drinks and listen to Charlie Horse at The Exchange downtown but I knew that would be tough to do on our first night out. We settled for going to the bookstore on the way home and picking up a lullabie cd and a children’s book (wow, our lives HAVE changed!).
So, we took the oppurtunity to take our first family photo since Kristi and I were in descent garb, not the puky t-shirt and sweatpant UNIFORM of late. 
Lastly, Kristi has been taking suggestions on how to get these guys to sleep at night from friends on her blog Red Dog Knits. There have been some pretty funny entries, some of which could probably get us into trouble with CPS. Anyway, one of the suggestions was to swaddle the boys together, you know, make them feel like they were both in the womb together again, comforting, peaceful, so they can sleep. Well, check this out.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

Oh they are so cute!
Neither of my boys slept through the night until they were almost two. Them being 21 months apart… gah… don’t want to remember those short nights!
No advice from me on how to get them to sleep…
Best of luck!

They are adorable even when they’re crying. I bet the cuteness is unbearable when they’re not crying.
As I told Kristi, my only suggestion is Benadryl spiked with whiskey.

What a precious video! I only know that all babies are different and some start out fussier than others. That’s no help to you at this time, of course. I’m glad you got to go out on the town. It is very important for the both of you to schedule together time without the guys along. Take advantage of any and all help offered and when that wears out, pay cash! My prayers are with you.
