Up in the night

Jaxon is starting this fun new thing called "stay up in the night for mom only." As you probably know, our living situation is a little crazy. Andrew is in St. George living with his parents and working. And Jax and I are in Richfield. We starting out living at my Grandma's house. Jax would do so horrible at night, keeping everyone in the house awake for long periods of time. So, we moved a block away to my parents house. We had to kick my brother Tanner out of his room, and sleep there. Everyone in my house sleeps with a very loud fan in their room, including me. So, his unnecessary nightly cries aren't a problem for anyone else....just me. Almost every night this week, he has gotten up in the night, and stayed up for sometimes 2 hours to cry and cry and cry. (Including tonight. It's 3:15 a.m.) I try to feed him, change him, rock him, pat him, sing to him, let him cry and NOTHING WORKS! I just have to wait it out until he decides its time to stop. It is so totally miserable. He did this when he was a newborn, which is quite typical, but now he is 9 months old. He should not be getting up 3+ times a night, or at all for that matter!! Instead of progressing, like most good little babies do, he is regressing...but only for me. I can say this because it is true. He went to stay in St. George for a few days. He did a lot better there, and even slept through the night some nights! And my mom watched him one night and he slept 11 hours straight! They did nothing different than what I do when I get him to sleep. I've tried it all: feeding him right before he goes to bed, putting him to bed early, putting him to bed late, trying to avoid naps...it goes on and on. It makes no sense, other than this: He has an inner strong hatred and goal to destroy his mothers life, OR something about the town of Richfield bothers him at night. Those are my only conclusions. Any other ideas, or advice will be well considered and very much appreciated.
