Two Firsts for the Jedi

Jedididah had two firsts tonight.  The first "first" was crying real tears. It's so much worse when their little eyes well up!

The second "first" was sleeping for 5 hours in between feedings. We are coming up on the 5th hour . . . 4:30 - 9:30  and I'm wondering if I should wake him up. I know newborns aren't supposed to go more than 5 hours when they are breastfeeding but when is he considered not a newborn anymore? He is OUT. 

Why can't he sleep like this at night? I leave the shades open during the day and dark at night so he can start to adjust but early mornings are an awake time and he sleeps AWESOME from like 6:30 - 11:00 . . . I'll feed him and he'll go right back to sleep.
