So close!

Well, we are believers in the Ferber Method. At first we had our doubts but now, after sleep has been restored to the Allen household we LOVE IT!! Sofie has been able to sleep in her crib through the night for the last four nights. She is still crying when we lay her down for bed, but she only cries for less than five minutes. She is still fussing around 3 a.m. but is able to put herself back to sleep and remain sleeping until about five. Which is perfect because with our new schedule both Nick and I are getting up at that time.

Yesterday was Nick's first time attempting the "routine" and he did a magnificent job. He has become such a wonderful, loving father. I always knew he would be a great Dad, but he has far exceeded my expectations. He is involved, patient and concerned as much if not more than I.

As we continue the Ferber Method we are trying to hit another milestone. Sofie is so close to crawling! I think my camera has become my permanent accessory. She is able to get up on her knees and rock back and forth but has yet to take that first crawl.


Keep posted for any updates.
