Hi there. Yes, I’m alive, and I’ve actually been doing some interesting things to post about, I just haven’t made time to post. I hope to remedy that soon.
Most of my “interesting stuff” is ham and/or electronics related. I got a soldering iron for Christmas, and I’ve put together a few kits and I’m in the process of putting together a few more, including an SDR receiver and a Morse code transceiver. I’ve also started tinkering with AVR microcontrollers.
During the holidays Luke got in the habit of going to sleep really late. After the holidays, he kept it up. I’d guess than during January, his average bedtime was 10:30pm. That doesn’t leave much time for dad to play with his toys. Luckily, he’s been going to sleep around 9pm the last week or so. He slipped a little tonight, but I’m not too worried about him regressing.
In other sleep-related news, we had been letting Liam sleep in his swing for the past few months. We knew it was a bad habit to form, but he slept so well in it. He went from getting up 2-3 times a night to 0-1 times a night. This week we finally decided it was time to break the habit. The first few nights were rough, but last night he only got up once. Luke got up once until he was about 15 months old (Liam is only 6 months old), so I don’t guess we can ask for much more.
So, if the boys keep up their good sleeping routines, you should be seeing a lot more posted here.
