On a better good boy note here he is supporting the Cambridge girls rowing. We have two staying with us and they are teaching him tricks.

Do you think this might be inadvertently rewarding him for behaviour you don't want? Just a thought.

Yes, but I’m at a bit of a loss as how to change it without him being very vocal throughout the night. Last night he slept from midnight to 3am with us then firm 3-4 wanted to toilet twice (pee then poop) then wanted breakfast, I gave him a raw hide chew instead. Then at 5am he was awake again jumping on me and trying to nip me, somehow I got him to settle to 6am. This time we stayed upstairs.

In my view, and I don't call myself a dog trainer but this what I did with Cass at 3-4 months, I think you need to stay up with him once he has had a wee etc but don't interact with him. Just make a cup of tea and potter about until such time as it is reasonable for him to have his breakfast and start the day.
He is such pretty boy! I love the pic of him against the green door and also the one where he’s smiling with all the girls.
Sorry you’re not getting proper sleep. It would get anyone down. But hopefully he’ll soon settle into a routine. Snowie, at the tender age of 13, also sometimes can’t settle. We find either a bowl smeared inside with peanut butter to lick helps him settle, or warm soup. Stanley might start to demand it, though! So hopefully those more experienced with puppies will have better advice.

He is such a good boy in every other way and everyone loves him.
He does sleep- just not when we need him to,

He'll come good. He'll be grown up before you know it and you'll somehow forget this stage. He's absolutely gorgeous.
This is so true - you won't remember the not sleeping stuff and you'll tell everyone what an angel of a pup he was and how he slept through the night no problems!

I agree, before too long you'll be looking back and thinking that it didn't last very long and wasn't really such a big problem and that it was all worth it, because he will have grown up to be such a lovely boy!

Two little molars came out today. He has two of the very big molars come through already and his canine teeth have been trying to push through all week.

I have a small jewelry box with some of my children's baby teeth in it ... and some of the dogs' baby teeth too!! 
(Bit weird I know...)
Hopefully Stanley feels the positive vibes on the forum and continues to sleep longer!!

I love it!
I think Blue may just be having a bad time with his teeth. It will pass and in a few months you will have forgotten this...well sort of! Positive vibes for Stanley to sleep longer.X
