Sleep Training

As most of you know, we've had sleeping issues with our little boy from day one.  It seemed like we'd tried everything...swaddling, bassinet, swing....until, our friends Derek and Karianne sent us a wonderful book called, Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Dr. Marc Weissbluth.  Dr. W. emphasizes the importance of sleep training and gives instructions on how to set up effective sleep habits.  I could really go on and on, but the the best part is that we think it is working!  Our Will set a new record last night.  He slept in his crib for 5 1/2 hours straight! Yea!!

Here are a couple of recent pictures of Will: 

Give me that camera! 

Will's still not swallowing much (if any) of his rice cereal, but we try every morning.  He either spits it out right away or stores some under his tongue and then spits it out with another bite! During the last two feedings, Will has sneezed with a mouthful of cereal and his mommy has gotten a nice rice cereal facial! 

Will likes to play in his rainforest! 

Will decided he really doesn't like to be on his tummy.  He hasn't learned how to turn back over to his back.  Just look at those cute little ears!!
