Sleep Update

Colby has been struggling with sleep ever since he was sick two weeks before Christmas. He went from regularly sleeping through the night to waking several times a night and then needing to sleep with Momma. He had become very attached to sleeping in the rocking chair and the need for Momma to sleep lying down prompted us to move the beloved rocking chair out and move a twin bed in. Colby still demands company during the majority of the night but we hope that he will eventually return to sleeping through the night.

On the upside, Colby has made great strides in learning to fall asleep in the crib by himself (well, with Momma sitting on his floor singing to him). He successfully fell asleep in the crib for naps two times last week and two times this week. All with minimal crying...only two minutes today! Of course any crying is difficult for us to hear, so we are hoping that he can continue on this path. Once he masters naps on his own, we'll tackle night time, where we have experienced far more resistance.
