Mama!

C finally said the magic word today while crawling toward me. He never even babbled the ma sound before, so it's even more special now. :)

More crawling

C is a crawling machine, and is starting to pull up some too. He laughs when standing, and laughs more when he falls down on his butt. Lol. Silly baby.

Dancing baby!

C has started to dance when he hears music. It's so cute! He also likes to clap with us.

Sleep!

Only 10 minutes of crying last night at bedtime, then he slept all night! I heard him stir twice but went right back to sleep. Woohoo!

10 months

The world his C's oyster now that he is a crawling machine. No pet is safe, no box is left untouched, and nothing is unexplored. Lol. He will entertain himself a lot longer now since he can move from thing to thing on his own. Lady and even Raja have been very patient
with his petting as well.
On another note, I'm blogging at 1:30 am because C doesn't want to sleep...again. About 3-4 weeks ago, we did sleep training with the no-cry sleep solution, slightly modified for us. C has always been pretty good about going to sleep, but won't stay asleep. Anyway, I tried this
method thinking it would be more gentle. And I thought it was working. He would sleep all night 1-2 nights and up once the other nights for about a week. Then we went on vacation, and he started waking frequently again. So we resumed co-sleeping. And now being home for
almost a week, we've been up all night every night, worse than before. I started again with the methods from before, but they are just NOT working. We let R cry it out around 9 months of age because he wouldn't even go to bed in the first place. 45 min the first night, 30
min the second, 10 the third, and done. So, tonight I'm done with C. He's been up 4 times in 3 hrs. I decided to let him cry. After 30 minutes, he's asleep. So, cross your fingers. We'll see how this goes....
