Last night went well! I was a little worried because at the end of his bottle his eyes were wide open! I felt awful thinking of how loud he would cry if I laid him in his crib AWAKE. He continued to give me the stare-down-puppy-dog-eyes for another 10 mins until finally I put him in his bed. Much to my surprise he gave me a smile, turned, & closed his eyes! I couldn’t believe it! Of course, 15 mins later he started crying but only for a few mins & then was asleep again. I have to say, he looks SO cute when he sleeps without being swaddled! His little arms fly up above his head or he will fall asleep with his fist halfway in his mouth. 
So adorable. He didn’t wake again until 3am (a mere hour before his feeding time! I was so tempted to just get up & feed him). He cried for about 20 mins and fell asleep again til feeding time. Just like the previous night, he went down without a peep after his feeding and didn’t wake again until 8am! I really thought this would be a lot worse, but he is doing great! I do admit though that every night I’ve ended up sneaking back in before I go to bed to make sure he’s breathing. Ha, ha! I’m such a worry wart. Even funnier though is that Tim follows me in to check on him too! I guess we just really love the little man.
So far tonight is going well, too! Until tomorrow!

Oh, I’m dreading this moment… Your a better Mommy then I, Talon still finds his way into our bed. I must conquer this tough love thing while my hubby is gone! He will be very proud when he gets home to a bed with only me in it!

We had to go through that too. Now Ava sleeps great! The only thing I don’t enjoy is that she will ONLY sleep in her bed now- makes it hard at church when she is soo tired but won’t let me rock her
