Not a peep

all through the night! Yay. Caleb has been doing so good with his 'sleep' training. Two nights he's made it all night without us having to go in for a check-in. The other nights he has woken up once for a short time and Dave just goes in to let him know it's time to go back to sleep (after waiting a certain amount of miutes to see if he'll go back to sleep on his own). We're so proud! It was painful at the start but worth it. We are all enjoying a lot more shut eye!

side note. the mixed up pjs caleb is wearing in the picture are a result of a nasty number two right before bed that got all over the original matching bottoms and resulted in a mix match of pjs.

his head was also at the opposite end of the crib and he was on his back when dave put him to bed. seems to be a tummy sleeper like me!

The Happy Dance

That's what we've been doing around here this morning. Because after only two nights of Caleb re-learning how to sleep he has remembered! Only this time he's not waking up once and I'm NOT going in and nursing him. Caleb succesfully slept ALL THROUGH the night last night! Yes. Shocker! Wait. Really? Yes. We couldn't believe it either. In fact Dave and I kept waking up through the night even though Caleb wasn't making a peep. We heard him once around 3 and anxiously waited for his cries to escalate but they never did and sometime in those 3 minutes that passed I fell asleep. Dave so kindly woke me up to tell me that Caleb fell back asleep. I so kindly told him I would have figured that out when I woke up later and he didn't need to bother waking me up to let me know!
Anyways. We'll be having a sleep celebration tonight. It's been a 'sleep crazed' ten months of good nights, bad nights, and it feels like finally we're getting to that happy land of sleep that I have long since forgotten about and only dreamed about. hehe
We're so proud of you Caleb!

Sleepy Mondays

So we're sleep training. AGAIN. The teething fiasco is over and our little guy has forgotten how to sleep through the night again. Big surprise there! He'll get there. So we're on to round 2. Since Caleb has taken to standing in his crib and the crying bits are louder than his six month old cries...and last longer too...the first night was a wee bit rough. 45 minutes...with 3 check-ins from dad...and a second waking lasting only 20 minutes. But only two awakenings the first night. Hurray. Last night Caleb only woke up once for 20 minutes and only one check-in from dad. (Notice I'm not the one checking in. That's because I cave. Big time. Pick him up. Rock him. And of course. Nurse him!)
