lack of sleep

adam is very adorable.  he is using his words so well now-- it had been a week since he woke up crying at night.  he would wake up in the middle of the night and say "where binky go" or "baba" and in the morning he would just say "daddy... mama... daddy.. mama" until we went into his room to get him.  Awesome, right?
well yeah... except the past 2 nights have been a different story.  i don't know what has gotten into him or why he has no desire to sleep at night, but he wakes up and when we try to lay him back down, he says "no.. no" and he will cry if we leave him in there on his own, but when we bring him into bed with us he won't just relax and sleep unfortunately either.  we make sure he has a bottle if he is hungry, has his binky and  teddy, change his diaper- but that still isn't enough.  he doesn't even want to lay down. he wants to sit up and talk and be loud and take turns cuddling all over daddy and mama and kicking us AND needless to say we can't get any sleep!!  last night this lasted for almost 4 hours.  we NEED to start getting our sleep.. i mean i'm already exhausted because my body is trying to make a baby-- but this lack of sleep thing is really wearing on tom and i both.   any suggestions????

keep him in his crib until he cries himself back to sleep. eventually he will learn.....but its harder than it sounds...trust me.

I hope Adam is letting you get some sleep now! When Parker was younger he went through a phase like that and we just stopped going in because I think he just wanted to play and knew we would come in if he cried. Kids are such tricksters! Hope to see you guys soon!
