Ferber: Night 2

We're getting there! After 47 minutes of crying last night, he finally decided to lay down and go to sleep. You should have seen him falling asleep sitting up. At one point, when Jarrod went in for a check, he started rubbing his head and Gavin actually went to sleep sitting up. He motioned for me on the monitor to come see him. It was so cute. Anyway...he woke up around 10, and I didn't feed him. We decided that the night before he'd slept for 4 hour stretches, so that was our goal for last night. It took 20 minutes for him to go back to sleep. He woke again at 1:45. This time, I went in, changed his diaper and fed him for about 5 minutes. The I put him back in bed, and again it was 20-30 minutes of crying and he was asleep by 2:30. Then...are you ready for this??? He slept until 7:30 without another peep! Slowly but surely, he's getting better. The best part is that it's been two nights in a row that I've been able to sleep in my bed the whole night without little feet poking me or a head butting me! :)
