Movin' On Up

Thursday night was Coleton's first night in his crib. Until tonight, he had slept in our bedroom in the pack-n-play. This was the best decision for us, especially while I was breast feeding and Coleton was still waking up in the middle of the night to nurse. However, we had been meaning to move him to the crib...and then he kept getting sick.
Remember: right ear infection, bronchitis for about 4 weeks, and then double ear infections?

But we took the plunge... and he's done great!

The 1st night he cried for about 30 minutes, the 2nd night 20, and by Saturday night he fell asleep in less than 10 minutes. No, we aren't just letting him cry it out in his crib, because I don't feel like that's the best choice for us. But we are trying to let him put himself to sleep, instead of depending on us. He goes down around 8-8:30 and still wakes up once a night and eats (but hopefully not for much longer). Yay for Coleton!

PS - Little man has a bottom tooth barely poking out!
