When Louis was an infant he would cry for hours in the evening and I would walk around the house singing and rocking him until he'd pass out from exhaustion. On one of those many nights when he was so very young I made up a song for him which, even though he's long outgrown the colic of those days, Matt and I still sing to him. He likes the rhythm and repetitiveness of the lyrics.

cutest baby in town!
Every little baby should have their own song.

Bedtime routine
Every evening about 7:30 p.m. Louis get's his jammies on, a bottle which he drinks in his bouncy seat, a quick prayer and NickJr. cartoons on the tv. It's like a religion. The same thing every night, no deviations and it works like a charm. He'll be asleep by 8:30 p.m. He's such a good baby.
Right now I'm listening to the tail end of tonight's bedtime routine. A 'growling' baby about to doze off to sleep and the mechanical rhythm of the bouncy seat going up and down. I love those sounds :)
Thanks to a new humidifier in his room Louis has slept until 6:30 a.m. the last two nights. Fingers crossed that tonights slumber is just as long and uninterrupted. Sweet dreams my little Louis!
