We Did It!

I put Morgan to sleep in her crib. There was no crying, no arm clawing, no big stress. Yes, she laid down with her bottle and Yes, her crib is still in my room but she fell asleep in her own bed. I did have to lie next to her on our bed and I positioned her crib so that she see me and it "felt" most like we were co-snuggling, except for the big bars in the middle. There were 37 minutes of Shhh-ing and back patting when she was upset, the rest I just lied there and pretended to sleep. She'd sit up, I'd lie her down. She'd stand up, I'd lie her down. (It was hard not to applaud and reward the standing, standing is big deal for Morgan)

We did it! Way to go Morgan P! We have a totally new nighttime routine. It started tonight! Bath at 7:30, Jammies on in the living room (used to be in our room, jumping on the king size bed), two books and 8:00 bed. Someday, I'll lie on the other side of the bed, then not at all, then there will be no bottle, then a new room...the possibilities are endless.

In case you have not heard her latest stats, Morgan is 31 3/4'' tall and 27lbs 7oz. She is as tall as an 18 mo old and as heavy as a 2 year old, says her pediatrician.
