Poor Porter :(

Porter used to be the perfect little sleeper. We used to be able to put him down with a big smile on his face. Lately, he has had the hardest time going down at all. Porter is not much of a cuddler, and since about last Thursday the only way he wants to fall asleep is in our arms. We will have him in our arms asleep for a good 15-20 minutes and as soon as we would go and set him down he would be wide awake and crying. To add to it ,once he is finally down at night he wakes up around 2:00 and wants to be cuddled again. Frustrating to say the least, Jason and I have lost quite a bit of sleep. Well since last night we have said forget this (to our defense we tried this at the begining) we were determined to just let him work it out in his crib. Last night was no fun, it took about an hour and a half. - Checking on him every now and then - (so sad) Sticking to our guns has worked though because tonight it only took 30 minutes YEAH!

Now that being said, he pretty much stands in his crib until he can't fight it any longer and falls into this sad little slump.


Bath Time Please!!!

Porter loves the bath! When ever he sees or hears the bathroom door open he B-lines it to the bathroom and stands right up to the tub, wanting to get in so bad.


This is one of Porter's favorite bath toys, it's a cloth like crab and he loves to suck all the water out of it.

Oh NO! Well, welcome to our lives! i used to have to cuddle with Kaitlyn to get her to go down too. we had to put our feet down too, but it does work. she only cries for about 5 minutes, 10 at the most. so it will get better!!!!

Good luck with the sleeping! It is so heartbreaking I know! But both of my kids go down without a peep. It is lovely and it is worth it, for everyone invloved. That is a cute lumpy picture!
