I apologize for the length of time between posts. We have been busy on our end. Dash continues to grow and learn new things. As you could see from one of the videos I posted earlier, Dash has been rolling over. He first rolled over from front to back (I think that is easier) but now almost exclusively rolls over from back to front. He seems to like his tummy time more these days and gets less frustrated than he used to, especially now that he has good arm strength to push himself up. I swear every time i put him on his back he immediately flips over! Another new thing that he has started doing is sitting up (somewhat) by putting his hands on the floor to brace himself and to keep from rolling over.
So we have started doing some "sleep training" with Dashiell. He has been a pretty good sleeper since he was born, but he was sleeping in a cosleeper attached to our bed since he was born. (Honestly, he spent more time in our bed than the cosleeper because I would have to pick him up out of the cosleeper to nurse him....and it was just easier to have him right next to me). But with my having to return to work in January, and Dashiell getting huge, there are a number of reasons we decided to start getting him into the crib at night: concerns that he might never leave our bed, and a hope and a need that we would all sleep more and better.
Kevin has been gone for work but I started this "sleep training" last Monday. I had been dealing with a bad head cold and waited until I was feeling a little better. I am happy to report that Dashiell has taken to the crib pretty well. Some nights have certainly been better than others....there were two nights where he woke up every 1.5 hours and was pretty upset. Of course I don't think Kevin believed me when i told him that Dash was sleeping in the crib so I had to take some pics for proof!
