"It’s Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday"

So, the other night we tried our second time of CIO (crying it out). I don't like the full out crying it out, so we went in every 5 minutes and make sure she knew we were there and told her everything was ok. This was our second time trying this. We tried it when she was 8 months old and she tried for over an hour and still didn't go to sleep. This time, the second time we checked on her (10 min into it & she was crying hysterically mad), she had gotten so mad that she stood herself up twice. She couldn't pull herself to stand before that. By the third time we checked on her, she had thrown up everywhere. So that ended the CIO for me. We changed her sheets and clothes. I don't mind that I have to rock her to sleep, I enjoy every minute because I know I won't be able to do it for long.





Jon's mom made this diaper bag all by hand. Amazing!






This is the mirror I have yet to hang. Half the plastic is broken off lol.

  4. Poor girl. I remember battling that. Thankfully Thad never threw up and really never had to do too much CIO. I know I started at 10 minutes and then worked up to 15. Good luck though, we still feed him and burp him before we put him down so he does get cuddle time.

  7. Her eyes in that last shot are simply sparkling. These are all really good shots!
    Don't feel bad about not letting her cry it out. Cole and Charley would both make themselves throw up because they cried so much. That was it for me. She isn't going to be 3 and wanting to be rocked to sleep (even if you may want to sometimes). While I know just how annoying it can be, it is still so neat. She will outgrow it, then you will miss it.

  11. what a cutie. your photos all have great perspectives, and yeah...sounds like CIO isn't working for you. you know your kid, and you know yourself, and it worked for one of our kids, but not all of them. good luck!
