The Move Upstairs

Jackson has done so well sleeping in his crib. He has now slept there for five nights. Each night has gotten easier. He cried for the first two nights but hasn't cried since. We are so proud of him. He is becoming such a big boy. I have to admit, though, that I miss sleeping with the little guy. However, I think he gets more rest in his own crib. He has room to stretch out and move around. His nightly routine goes a little something like this: eat rice cereal (super yummy!), take a bath, put on pajamas and sleep sack, take a bottle, get in crib and listen to/watch mobile. We then give him hugs and kisses and say our goodnights. We watch him on the monitor. The past two nights, it has taken him about 5-10 minutes to fall asleep. We have learned that it is best to put him down when we first notice he is getting tired. He doesn't handle it as well when he has reached the point of exhaustion. Here is a cute picture of our little man.
