After a horrible weekend of sleep, we decided the time had come for a new sleep regiment. It's basically the "cry it out" method. No more nursing or rocking to sleep and no more picking him up when he cries in the middle of the night. And once he is in his crib, he stays there until morning. It's tough to listen to him cry, but it's been working! Both nighttime sleep and daytime naps are getting more and more consistent.
Monday was Karen's Birthday! Steve took Zeeke to music class and had a great time, then they met up with Karen and took her to lunch at Parc.
Tuesday was the huge milestone! Karen put Zeeke down for his morning nap awake and he cried it out of the first time. No breast or rocking him to sleep. After his nap, Zeeke & Karen had a quick play date with Leah & Zack before lunch.
Wednesday, Karen & Zeeke spent the day in Chestnut Hill with the Jen & twins. Zeeke had Indian food for the first time and found it tasty.
Thursday was two library visit day!
Saturday was the big first birthday party for Jen & Kim's twins. Happy Birthday, Jack & William! A great time was had by all.
Sunday, we drove out to New Jersey for a combined birthday celebration in honor of Steve's dad and Karen.
Zeeke's favorite book of the week: Potty by Leslie Patricelli
