Bragging

I just have to take few minutes to brag about my absolutely wonderful baby boy. About a week and a half ago, Carson was having a hard time going to sleep. We were in Midway at a hotel so we didn't have a rocking chair. (I usually rock Carson to sleep.) After about 45 minutes, I decided to just put him in his bed and see what happened. He babbled and grunted for about 5 minutes then fell right to sleep. I decided to try the same thing the next night, even though we were back home. After nursing him and rocking him for 5 minutes, I put him in his bed and left the room. Again, he babbled and grunted for a few minutes and fell asleep. Next night, same thing and so on. It is now a week and a half later, and we have put him down every night and let him fall asleep on his own. He has never even cried or fussed. He just babbles. And since he has been putting himself to sleep, he falls asleep earlier and stays asleep longer. Instead of only sleeping about 4 to 5 hours, he now sleeps 6 to 8 hours. I think this is a pretty amazing feat for a 7 week old baby to have accomplished. Oh and a sleeping baby means a sleeping mommy. I am loving the added rest I have gotten. We both just love him!
