the tables are turning...slowly

we are starting to see some progression with the little monster's sleep habits. i can't remember when we started our bedtime routine anymore but i think he is starting to get that after storytime it's bedtime. it's been awhile since my last post but i'm a tired mommy. i thought blogging would be easier than it is. words don't come easy to me so as much as i love sharing my going-ons sometimes it just seems like work. my english sucks and my chinese sucks but the upside is i'm pretty good as baby talk. who said the glass is half empty?

conrad is definately not a "cry it out" baby nor could i let him cry it out, it's just too heart wrenching. he would just cry all night if we tried that method. so the latest book i've read about infant sleep is the lull-a-baby sleep plan. of everything i've read i think this is most suitable for our little sleep monster. it's a middle of the road plan that allows parents to lull their babies into sleepy bliss. naps are getting a little better and nodding off to bed isn't that much of a fight anymore but long stretches of sleep are still random occurances but keep your fingers crossed, so far so good. the author is canadian so there are some links to some helpful websites that have canadian content so that's a bonus.
