These are the same video, just encoded differently (first via blogger, second via youtube). Definitely a dark shot...but he's feeling chatty.

videos
Trying to see where will do the least compression...I tried uploading the videos to YouTube instead of straight through blogger.
Note, these are the same videos, just converted by YouTube instead of by Blogger.

Playing with the new Bloggie camera
Just received our new "Bloggie" camera that we have to try out here and see if it will fit the bill for us for grabbing quick videos and the occasional snap shot of Peregrine.
Let me know what you folks think of the quality.

sleeping
Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, his less-than-desirable sleep habits have returned. The last two nights running he woke up almost exactly every hour. Not fun, especially with Sky going back to work today.
If anyone has any pointers or ideas, please (PLEASE) let us know?

Look! A Video!
We don't actually have a video camera of any kind but Uncle Loren does, on his phone.
It just so happens that on this first day back at work for Momma, Peregrine is at home with Auntie Lys and Uncle Loren. And, thankfully, he seems to be having a good time!
(can't say the same for Momma, though)

Finally, a bit of rest
After struggling these last few weeks with Peregrine not sleeping particularly well, we've managed to get at least ONE night of respite, and hopefully more are on the way.
He had been chugging along up until a couple weeks ago with sleeping four or five hours at a time, feeding, then going back to sleep. Then he started sleeping less and less overnight. First down to only three hours, then two, and this last week it's been two hour stretches at most - sometimes only one - before he wakes up and wants to eat NOW!
Gradually going insane, we finally decided we had to do something. We had already moved him from his co-sleeper next to our bed into his crib in the corner of our room. After much debate - and feeling REALLY bad about it - we moved his crib into "his" room last night, and put him down in there. We had a whole plan of how long he was going to have to cry for before we picked him up and how long he was going to have to go between feedings. It was horrible for us; not that it's a bad thing to do, necessarily, but it was something we had not wanted. We were really bummed about having to do this, but we need to start getting some sleep and Sky is going back to work soon.
He did just great. He fell asleep almost immediately and slept for five full hours before waking up gently and getting a full feeding, then he went back down for four more hours. All without any fuss!
We know it won't necessarily last, that it could change at a moment's notice, but it felt really good to both get some sleep and not have to be forced to listen to him cry (yet).
Maybe Momma snores too much, and it was waking him up? I don't know, but he had a great night last night and so did we. It feels like a new lease on life!
