Step by Step...

Well, we're getting there. With the crib sleeping, that is. We definitely have to take it step by step.

This morning Aidan slept in his crib for about an hour. He woke up at 7am for his normal 7am feeding. When he was done eating, I put him in his crib. He was awake for about ten minutes before drifting off to dreamland. It was nice to be able to do some laundry and other household chores without Aidan attached to me! (Although I do enjoy having him in either the sling or the Baby Bjorn). Anyway - he started fussing around 8:45am and I went in to get him at 9am.

I tried again this afternoon, to put him in his crib for a nap. I'd like to have him nap from 1pm to 3pm (or close to those times), so I put him down around 1:15pm. He was quiet (but awake) from 1:15pm to 1:30pm. He started fussing around 1:30pm and I went upstairs around 1:35pm and turned on his mobile (which he LOVES) and put his pacifier back in his mouth. This "pattern" of him being quiet for about ten minutes, fussing for another ten, and then me coming upstairs to comfort him lasted until 2:30pm. It was then that I actually picked him up out of his crib and rocked him to sleep in my arms. When he was asleep I put him back down in his crib where he slept for about fifteen minutes.

Oh, well. We're getting there... Step by step =)
