I am so pleased with Hannah

Gotta love all of those books, the ones that make you think that you are a bad parent if your child doesn't fall asleep on his own the second you put him in his crib by 4 months old Ty gets a bottle at night and then is cuddled to sleep. I tried a few times to put him in his crib awake, but he cries. For naps, I nurse him to sleep then hold him while he naps. Sure, I don't get much done around the house, but the time will come soon enough when he doesn't want mommy to cuddle him to pieces anymore so I want to enjoy this time while I can.

Last week Ty wasn't feeling well, and he got very clingy to me. So he has been co-sleeping with us since then. We are planning on putting him back in the crib, although I know it is going to be a rough transition back. I will probably have a couple of rough nights.

Good to know that Hannah goes to her crib alone so well And I know what you mean by saying they need you less and less.....it just seems like they are already growing up so fast, it won't be long before they are off to college! So let's just enjoy them wanting to cuddle with mom while they still want to

LOL that is exactly how I feel about it. I said to my husband last night that after thinking about it... I'm not sure it was my decision to start putting her in her crib... I think it was Hannah's decision because she didn't want to fall asleep in my arms anymore haha. Now when I try to "cuddle" her... she just wants to play lol. she tries to grab my nose, or squirm around... or her famous thing is... she will laugh just a little and then wait for my response and she will keep doing it until I laugh lol... and it usually works.

Hannah was also sick the week before last. She ended up having an ear infection and an upper respiratory infection. She was pretty sick and yeah she was pretty clingy then too. Brian bit the bullet and offered his side of the bed to Hannah while he slept on the couch lol. So hannah did spend one night in my bed... but very little sleep was had lol.
