We had a great weekend with Noah. He was super happy. I think a big part of this was that he took good long naps. Naps are key. We've been reading about sleep training to help Noah get better with sleeping. So far we've been following the plan by Elizabeth Pantley, who does a 'no-cry' sleep solution. I'd say it has been working with moderate success, the failure being that we haven't been super strict about following it. It's not that I'm against 'crying it out', and I think I'm prepared to do it, if and when it comes to that. But until he is eating something besides breast milk, I'm cutting the kid some slack in the sleep department. Anyway, Grant took the initiative to read this book about how to get your baby to nap better and he kept a nap diary to track Noah's sleeping habits from Friday through Sunday. Completely anal, but it helped so much! I guess Noah did have a sleeping pattern, but we just hadn't really been paying attention to it. Once we saw what the pattern was, it made putting him down so much easier! And look how adorably happy he is in the picture!
