Smiles for Everyone

Little E' Sleeps on His Own!

Inspired from the book babywise, we have started Elijah on a flexible routine of eat, activity, sleep, in that order over and over throughout the day. We have allowed him to teach himself the art of falling asleep on his very own, instead of me or Paul carrying him around for at least a half hour, if not much longer. It is fantastic! Just over the course of the past two days he now falls asleep within about ten minutes of being put down in his crib. Occasionally he wakes up, but he will fall back asleep within a few minutes. Oh my goodness, I cannot express how wonderful it is. I feel so energized. It makes feeding time and playtime much more enjoyable when I get a little break during his nap time. Speaking of feeding time, for those of you who knew that we were struggling with breast-feeding, I would like to inform you that Elijah and I have perfected it!
