Main man

Trying to grab the water

I didn't get to see my little man today very much. I was doing a lot of things and my mom wanted to watch him for a while - well, one thing turned into another and it's now 7:30 and I haven't seen my baby boy for over 6 hours now. It's not terrible, but I just wish he was with me. I feel like a piece of my heart is missing when he's gone.

     What's new? We are trying the FERBER METHOD, also known as the Progressive-Waiting Sleep Training. A very brief summary of it is let your baby teach themselves to fall asleep without needing a sleep aid (such as rocking, or feeding). So, we're going to let him cry and then reassure him that everything is alright and then leave again.

     Dr. Ferber says that the baby will be sleeping through the night and able to put themselves to sleep within a few days, which is fantastic because that's exactly the amount of time I'm willing to wait before I get frustrated and try something else. So, here's the chart:

Stand crawling?

     

    Seems pretty legit, everyone I've talked to about this has said it works miracles. So, we'll see how it goes tonight and I'll post a blog about it tomorrow.

     Next item on the agenda is an update on his crawling. He's so close, I can almost smell it! He wants it so bad! He's scooting around more than ever and he's trying to stand up, which doesn't work too well... But it helps motivate him. I just cannot wait for a mobile baby! I'm seriously so stoked.
