Calling All Mamas (and Papas)--Sleep Questions

Just wondering about infants' sleep. I have read a couple of books, talked to my doctor, and scoured the Internet, but still have lots of unanswered questions regarding sleep. Samuel sleeps really well at night (like 10-13 hours; he does wake up once or twice to eat), but is not a good napper. He takes 30-45 minute naps, occasionally a bit longer. There are days when he hardly sleeps at all. I feel bad when I try to "force" him to sleep more, and bad when I give in and get him out of his crib after such short naps. Any kind of schedule I try to put him on is thrown off due to him not napping (and his reflux). Lately I have wanted to forget completely about any kind of schedule and just try to take his cues. I know most would say this would not be a good idea. But, I do not know what to do and I am curious about that option. So, I really am wondering about two different things here--no naps/lots of night sleep, and going off any kind of schedule. A few questions: 1. If he is sleeping about 12 hours at night, are the naps all that important? 2. Do/did any of you not follow a schedule, for whatever reason, and how does that work for you and your baby? 3. What time do/did your infant go to sleep at night and wake in the morning? I do not know if anyone will read this post, much less respond, but thought I would see.

The Kite Runner

Dave and I highly recommend this movie; the best either of us have seen in a long, long time. Very powerful, moving, and redemptive.

Christmas Pictures

We stayed in STL this Christmas, mainly because the whole journey south seemed overwhelming to us with Samuel. Also, major news, I started back to work and the thought of spending my week off from teaching with Samuel and David in our little home was comforting to me, after the difficulty of leaving him everyday. More on that later...
We had a good time at the Barclay's for lunch and then came home. Dave and I had high hopes for doing a puzzle, but I felt like I had been run over by a freight train and went to bed too early to mention. Here are a few pics.
