So after getting all the advice from everyone about how to cure my son's sleeping problems, I have implemented a new schedule in our house:
Bathtime: 6 pm
Stories: 6:30 pm
Feeding: 6:45-7:15
Put in bed between 7:30 and 8 pm
It has been going so great - He seems to LOVE his crib and being in his own room. It was so hard for me to let him sleep in his own room the first night, but ever since then it has been wonderful for both. So thank you all for the great advice, and especially thanks to Cash for taking to the new routine and letting us all have some peace and quiet at nights!!! He also has been going down for naps in his crib all by himself and hardly ever cries....wahoo!!!
However, the other day I heard some weird noises coming from his room during nap time, so I waited until it got quiet again and then went in to check on him - this is what I found:
At least he was sleeping still eh? Sweet dreams my little man!!!

the routine is key. way to go steph! i have never been able to let them cry it out for a number of reasons but here are two:
1. the first night i was going to let landon cry it out he ended up having the flu
2. one night i let jarrett cry it out his cry became different so i went in to check on him and his knee was stuck between his crib bars.
after those two occurrences and my own emotions i just couldn't do it. i'm glad cash is working with you though!!
cash is getting super long
Glad things are getting better-sleep issues are the worst because it is so hard to deal emotionally without sleep. Ryan is trying to transition to a bed, but always seems to end up sleeping in our which is not a habit I like since I get kicked in the head all night long.
Hurray! I am soooo happy he is sleeping for you! Sleeping baby = happy mama ;)
Good for you...hooray! xoxoxox
