Crying it out....

On Sunday night we started our new bedtime routine. We have been working towards having Jack sleep in the nursery a couple of nights a week. Last week he did so well, we decided to keep him up there from now on. Usually he falls asleep in my arms while we watch TV at night and then I put him to bed. On Sunday night we put him up in the crib when he was tired, but not asleep. After a few minutes he started to cry, we had given ourselves a goal of 10 minutes before we would go up and check on him. At 7 minutes, there was silence. He made a few more peeps after that, but after just 25 minutes total he was asleep and stayed asleep all night! We were so proud of ourselves for getting through the crying. Daddy and I were silently high fiving and cheering!! Our plan is to keep up this routine all week and hopefully it will be a success and there won't be too many tears (from Jack, Daddy or Me :) ).

Meanwhile, during the day we are working a lot on tummy time and towards rolling over. Jack is able to hold his head and chest up when he is on the floor and he will lift his legs up to try and roll over. We have made it to the point where he is up on his side, but flops back to his belly. No roll overs yet. We also started sitting him in his baby bumbo chair. He doesn't really know what to think about this yet. The faces he makes are priceless! :)
