Nadia has been sleeping in her crib at night for the past week. YAY! We were having the hardest time getting her to sleep in her crib. It's crazy because she doesn't have a problem taking her naps but it's only at night that she would scream. We tried crying it out and Corey and I don't have the heart for that. I mean, we could handle the whining but when she would start screaming to the point where she would choke herself we couldn't take it. So for the past couple of months or so, she has been sleeping with us. We wouldn't even try to put her in her crib.
When we took her to her year appt. the doctor kinda made me feel bad when I told him that she was sleeping with us. He basically told me that I was weak and that Corey needed to be the one to put her to bed. Thanks for the word of encouragement. So being a first time mom, I starting thinking that maybe the doctor was right. Not that I'm weak but maybe she does need to start sleeping in her own bed. I really didn't have a problem with her sleeping with us but I figured that it will be easier getting her to sleep in her room now than if we started trying later. Well, so far it has worked. Granite, I do have sit in her room for about an hour before she falls asleep but atleast I don't have to deal with the screaming. Hey, we gotta start somewhere.

Is that what I have to look forward too. LOL. He sleeps in his bassinet next to our bed. I tried putting him in his room, that didn't work out. Now I'm use to him being in our room & I don't want him to leave. Not yet at least.
soooooooooooo sweet .. love those pics....!! Good luck with the sleeping.
I am too chicken to let the baby sleep in his own bed. Not because I don't want him too. I'm just not ready to deal with the crying. Those pictures are simply precious!
Thanks ladies. It was hard because I didn't mind her sleeping with us but we are tying for baby #2. She's still doing good. Now I can just put her in her crib, read a book, turn on music and she entertains herself until she falls asleep.
