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.

Awww bless her heart - such sweet pictures but I can imagine that it's really hard.
ReplyDeletePoor girl. Sweet photos. Love that diaper bag.
ReplyDeletepretty diaper bag. The rest of the pictures are priceless too. :-)
ReplyDeletePoor 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.
ReplyDeleteOh and naps on the other hand, those of been hell lately. Lol, seriously.
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious baby. Great shots...
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great day.
Her eyes in that last shot are simply sparkling. These are all really good shots!
ReplyDeleteDon'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.
oh i'm so sorry the CIO went badly for you guys :(
ReplyDeleteand that diaper bag is amazing!
These are all so sweet, Jessica. And, that diaper bag...WOW!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww....Love your photos! Great job, you are so talented.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE the last photo, it is so beautiful and so is she!!!
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!
