I hate to say it (in fear of a jinx) but I think I might have hit a groove! Here is our routine: when I get home with the kids, I get both kids ready for the bath. Jillian is usually not happy about it but once I get her in, she is very happy to play in there. Clean both of them, wrap in towels that Jillian gets to pick out. She usually chooses the duck and gives Rocco the alligator. Then I get them dressed in pjs that again, Jillian gets to pick out. Then we climb in my bed and I nurse Rocco to sleep while Jillian either watches "The Beast" or I read her some stories. Once Rocco is down then I take Jillian for some cuddle time in her room and she is off to bed too. (If I can't get Rocco down first then he comes with us to Jillian's room). The point is....that both kids are asleep by 8:00 - 8:15 a.m!!!! I have a little me time for about 2 hours!!!
Also dare I say it, Rocco is pretty much sleeping through the night. Jillian did not sleep through the night until she was a year old. Hello?? What a difference!!! Now, he is not sleeping in his own bed yet, but we will get there!!!
Finally, my little silly Jilly has shown definite signs of jealousy so I basically have given her full use of Rocco's things to try and quelch the jealousy. So here she is fully enjoying Rocco's bassinet. I just hope she doesn't break it!

I hope you meant both kiddos are asleep by 8:00 p.m. and not a.m. Because if it is 8:00 a.m. then I feel for you.
I am so happy that you are getting into a groove. Little Payton is starting to fall asleep at 8:00 p.m. and stays asleep until 1:30 or 2:00 in the morning then she falls right back to sleep after being nursed. It is heaven. Although, she still wakes up at 4:00 a.m. Not really wakes up, but she is in that in between stage of not being asleep and not being fully awake. She is basically a little wiggle worm until about 6:00 a.m. when she finally decides to go back to sleep.
