CRAWLING

Silent Night is not what we are having. Last night we started the process of letting David cry himself to sleep. Six months is supposed to be the right age to do it and it is only suppost to take about a week for most babies. We are basically up all night reasuring him that he's okay, he just needs to learn how to fall back asleep on his own so that he is not needing to always nurse to fall back asleep. We are exausted from last night and not looking forward to tonight but hopefully it doesn't take him long to figure this out. In this picture he is attempting a nap with his dog Goliath.
Squash is David's newest vegetable. I think peas will be the next one he tries. Right now he is eating combinations of everything we have given him so far. Here he is with remenats of green beans on his face. Tonight he had green beans and carrot mixed with sweet potato.
Last night he crawled FORWARD for the first time!
Here he is nice and clean after his bath. As his hair gets longer it seems to be curling, especially after it has been washed. He loves his bath time and plays with the bath toys he got for Christmas.

I remember the day when my nephew could move forwards. Suddenly, he became a really fast baby.

I like the bear.

Congrats on David crawling for the 1st time!!! I cant wait until Madison starts to crawl (she is determined). Anyways, I wish you all the luck in the world with your long journey of getting David to fall asleep on his own and dont worry you arent alone in those long nights, we have decided to do the same thing now and it is one the hardest things I've ever done!!! Keep at it and it will all work out in the end!!! Congrats again!!!
