Sweet Jakob just turned a year old recently.

When I did his shoot, I told him good thing I can't have kids anymore

because his cuteness might make me want more kids.

He's a sweetheart and we had lots of fun.

I also told him I might just take him home...

just for a little bit.

His mom let me know that I wouldn't want to do that.

Behind his oh-so-sweetness is a baby that won't sleep in.

Mom isn't looking for him to sleep in late...she is just looking for him to sleep past 5 am.

Yikes!

She said sometimes he gets up as early as 4 am.

Double Yikes!!

Now, I know some of the best moms there is...

I am sure most of you are reading this right now.

I'm looking to pass on some of your infinite wisdom to Jakob's poor mom.  What advice do you have for a child that won't sleep?

She has tried...

keeping him up {that backfired}.

She gives him baths every night before bed.

She has a fan and radio in his room to help him sleep.

His dad works 2nd shift, so "crying it out" is a rough option.

But this boy wants to be UP early!

His mom said,

maybe he's trying to ensure he is an only child.

So, for the sake of their unborn children, I am asking you to send some advice our way.

Not to mention, you will be saving his mother's sanity.
