Crying it out...both of us!

Today is the day, I finally let the 9 month old test out her crib. I should just wait a few more months and put her right into a big girl bed. I had a BAD morning and decided Ainsley would be best off just crying it out in her crib this morning. After 45 minutes she started to calm down and after a few minutes of quiet I snuck in to find THIS... my little monkey still holding onto the bars, one leg out, face buried in the corner. THIS is better than the swing? I only left her there long enough to take a picture and then I had to wake her up, feed the little princess to sleep, and then carefully slip her into her swing. I'm back to square one....

I thought she use to sleep in her crib, when did she switch to the swing? She'll get use to it then she'll like it better than the swing! I think she's got some of the family stubborn gene. I know--she's such a cutie it's harder on you than her.

That is so cute, and funny! That's not too bad for the first day. It took forever to get Kaylee to sleep in her crib.

I'm crackin' up at that picture! And I feel your pain!!! What is it 'bout our little cabooses that makes us such softies?? At least I am with Taven. I can say that I FINALLY let him cry it out one night and it made a WORLD of difference! Now he sleeps so good til about 4-5...I put him down at 9, so I'm SOOO happy! But everything else, yea, I totally spoil the kid :) She is so cute Britney!

Ha!!! I hate that! She must be determined. I still feed my baby to sleep too. Shame on me!!! It is so much easier than listening to the sobs....
