Milestone

I've been stressing out lately about the fact that Nathan is still sleeping in his carseat. We've tried having him sleep flat so many times and he would never sleep for more than 1/2 hour at the time. Hmmm, put him in the carseat and have him sleep for 4-5 hours at a time vs. lay him flat and have him sleep 1/2 hour at a time. The choice was easy.

Today I had a breakthrough! This morning when I put Nathan down for his nap I decided to put him on our bed, unswaddled, with a wedge under his back. He slept for an HOUR, woke up and then went back to sleep for another HOUR AND A HALF! At 3:15 this afternoon I put him down again and he has been asleep for 1/2 hour and isn't showing signs for waking up. I guess he may have just been done with the swaddle.

I think we'll give it a try again tonight and see how it goes. Wish us luck! :)

I obviously have no advice to give you about getting Nathan to sleep in someplace other than his car seat (but it sounds like you've already figured that dilemma out on your own), but I absolutely LOVE Jillian's little quote about a dinosaur. So precious!
