I’m scared to say it.

Scared to type it.

But the truth will come out.

Here goes. Brace yourself.

Bon Bon has been sleeping 6-8 hours every night. Straight through.

I know. I know! I too thought it was just a myth - that there were babies who slept for more than 3 hours at a stretch. Or, I thought, perhaps those poor babies are being left to cry it out, and the only ones sleeping are their callous, nigh abusive parents.

Oh no. I can assure you, Bon Bon is not and never has been left to cry it out.  He hardly ever cries at all.  He is happy, contended, and big, coming in at 15.06 lbs and 25 1/2 inches as of last Friday.  He is fed at the slightest squawk.

Which begs the question, what the hell did we do to deserve this?  Is this some sort of karma? Is it the calm before the storm? Does it mean something bad is going to happen? Will he grow up to be a lazy slacker who never gets out of bed? Or even an official slacker (Hail Eris!)? Is he suffering from some sort of baby depression where they smile and coo a lot?

I don’t know, but I think I like it!
