Sleep training

  IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HARD!  I hate having to listen to my poor baby cry himself to sleep.  Today is day 3 and he has already gotten much better. 

Day one: cried for 30 minutes. 

Day two: around 25 minutes. 

Day 3:  first nap: 5 minutes and second nap: 5 minutes and counting (still crying as I type.) 

 I thought a new blog post would take my mind off of the cries but it's not working and I can't think straight enough to type anymore.  Pray for me ya'll.

Mad's Teeth!

  He has two bottom teeth!  It seems like he is feeling a lot better now.  The sleep schedule has gone back to normal.  I am so glad to have my happy baby back.  Happy Baby = Happy Mama.

It's not the greatest picture ever.   Ya know....  It turns out its pretty hard to pry an infant's mouth open with one hand while trying to take a picture with the other.
