Better Late then Never!

As a new mom, your first child might have the unfortunate position as the ginny pig. Mistakes will be made, but good news is they are too young to ever remember. After hitting rock bottom from sleep deprivation this weekend, I gave in and pulled out all my trusty baby books and felt it was time for some MAJOR sleep training! After the first page, I realized this is something I should have started at week 6 not 6 months later, but better late then never Right! We are on day 2 and I have to admit I do see some progress on this whole "self-soothing" idea. She just went down for her nap (awake) and there was not one tear! As you can see Hailey finds great comfort in her puppy during this traumatic transition.

I was just with some friends last nite that were working on it at 7 months. I'm glad she has her little stuffed animal to get her through the tough times :)

SO CUTE!! She is so beautiful!! Your trip with your family looks like it was a blast! HOW FUN!! Crying it out is so hard to do but at least it leads to both of you sleeping..eventually!! LOVE YA!

Yay! Hailey is awesome! I read in a book that if you put your baby to bed and they don't cry, that you found the perfect timing. Nicely done! I have yet to figure that out...
