Sleep training: Night Two
7:30: Bedtime ritual as usual. Falls asleep in crib without really crying at all. I'm lovin' it!
10 pm: Try to ignore the fact that it's Friday night and get ready for bed. Gird myself for a potentially tough night ahead.
11 pm: Woken up by mad, hungry baby, right on schedule. Tonight we're kicking off the Ferber plan, though (ask me about this if you're interested), which means pushing back the feedings a half an hour each night.
11:20 pm: It's almost 1/2 an hour right? Totally cave and run down the hallway to "starving" baby. Big feed, then into the bed. Baby not so happy at the way things have been going lately and spits pacifier out as soon as I hit the door. Pause for a second but then harden my heart and don't look back. Crawl into bed and then (big gasp!) turn off baby monitor. He's just down the hall ... if it's bad enough, I'll wake up.
6 a.m.: Wake up, dazed and confused. Baby is crying but not sure for how long. Big feeding. Baby does back to bed and is asleep before hitting the mattress.
8:30: Woken up by lovely sound of baby cooing. Wait, did I sleep eight hours in a row last night or what?! Birds are singing.
I think we might be onto something here ...

"Hey ladies I'm nathan"
Man, loves it! What a lil hottie.
And how cute is the grumpy old man?! He should be drinking a hot chocolate and shouting at the refs.
Thanks! Sleep progress continues ...
