That's right. We're here in full effect on Acorn Chase Drive. After many many discussions with friends we've entered boot camp for babies. It's not fun, but we're seeing results, and that IS fun. We started on Monday...it's now Thursday and I'm happy to report that we're seeing results. We're using the Dr. Ferber method as a base, however, I've customized it to fit my needs and my patience level. We've had 2 great nights of sleep from him and he's eating solid foods better and drinking a fair amount of formula, enough to not make him want to eat during the night!!! (this is what we wanted). He used to scream until he puked...but I think I let him do it too many times, that now he's screaming for 10-20 minutes and drifting off, no messy clean up involved.
Naps, we still have a consistent morning nap from him. His afternoon nap, it's a work still in progress. This is the nap we NEED to concentrate on. Sam and him NEED to give me a little break in the afternoon for some much needed catch up on mommy world.
Through our hard efforts, Sam and I have FINALLY got him to roll over from his back to his tummy. He loves to be on his tummy, but still doesn't understand that he can crawl. He's so close, but yet so far. He gets up on all fours and rocks, but then falls over. This is actually how he gets to his objects. Up down, Up down, Up down, and then gets tired. But we continue to work on this and we'll soon see better results.
The one thing I don't understand...even with the time change, my children both STILL wake up at 5/5:30??? Can they both read their clocks in their room already?
Let's hope this progress report will continue to end with positive reports. This is all we got for now, and the sanity levels are going back up!

Hang in there Mommy! I KNOW this isn't easy, but you're doing the right thing. Little Matthew, get that body moving. Life with mobility is OH SO SWEET!
