Progress

Well, good news. We're successfully sleep training you. We had to resort to the "cry it out" method because we tried everything else, and it wasn't working. You just needed a little CONSISTENCY! Sorry for confusing you with our other tactics. I am surprised how fast you've learned to fall asleep on your own. Way to go!

Two things have really helped out: We set up your crib, and you've learned to roll over. I always put you down on your back, but you like to roll over and sleep on your stomach. Fine with us. On this particular day, you cried when I put you down for a nap, for about 15 minutes. In the process, you worked your little self all the way across your crib, and when you couldn't get any further, you gave up and went to sleep.
I love sneaking in the room and peeking in at you. Something about watching you sleep there just melts my heart. I take peeks at least twice, each nap.
