Then, the next day, Monday, was a definite low cause I had to take Owen to the dentist to get his first cavity filled. I felt so bad that he had a cavity, first of all, and then knowing what he was going to have to go through. No fun at all. But, he survived. I survived. It was rough, and I'm glad it's over.
Not much else going on this week except I've been working on Luke's naps. As in I'm tired of having to rock, jostle, cajole him to sleep, then lay him down and have him wake up and cry. So, I decided he would just have to fuss some and learn how to get himself to sleep somewhere besides my arms. I'm not letting him full-blown cry it out. I'll let him fuss for a few minutes at a time and then go in and give him the paci. But, I refuse to pick him back up after laying him down in the crib. I've been doing this the past 2 days and it usually takes 15-20 minutes before he goes to sleep. I'm hoping to phase out nighttime feedings soon as well. I'll take Luke for his 6 month checkup next week. Anyway, so that's what has been going on here. I posted a few photos below.

Cute boys!!! It is so hard to hear your little ones cry--I let Jillina get me up and down all night until she was about 10 months old--finally someone told me (wisely) that if she was not hungry and not wet/etc-that sometimes the crying helped little ones to relax to sleep. anyway, I finally let her cry for about 20 minutes--she slept the rest of the night. The next night she slept through the night, and it was so much easier thereafter. Hang in there!!!
