6 Months

I haven't taken too many photos this week because on Friday night we started sleep training Milton. I decided to do the "no tears" method which means Big Milt or I stay in the room with him while he's in his crib until he falls asleep and then leave the room once he's asleep. I was expecting it to be horrible and was prepared for hours of crying but to my surprise he has done much better than I expected. Never underestimate your children. The first night he woke 6 times but never cried for more than 30 min. The second night he went to sleep with absolutely no crying and then only woke 3 times with minimal crying. As the nights go on we will move farther and farther from his crib until he can go to sleep on his own without us in the room.

He's getting so big. He's almost like a little boy already. It makes me sad that he's growing so fast right in front of my eyes. I don't know what happened to my baby. He is very happy all the time. He is very sociable and is glad to say hello to strangers when we are out and about. We still have one car and I take the car almost everyday now so that I can take little M out or else he gets stir crazy and bored. We try to walk the neighborhood for an hour a day too. He's doing great. He's eating 3 meals a day now and is nearly 18 pounds!
