Abram says, "I need sleep!"Abram and I are having a bit of trouble the last couple days. Barry and I have been reading the Baby Whisperer book and preparing to get Abram on a routine and sleeping on his own. After 2 weeks with the book we have begun the process. Let me tell you, baby and I are a little tired of each other right now! We set up a going to sleep routine that starts when Bram starts to get sleepy. Right now it's taking between 20 to 40 minutes to get him to sleep. Then he will sleep on his own for somewhere between 5 minutes to 30 minutes. While yesterday was a hard day we stuck to it the whole day and last night Abram slept in his very own bassinet for the first time through the night! (he didn't sleep through the night but was returned to his bassinet after each feeding) Either Barry or I was awake most of the night however, trying to get Bram to sleep. So, today we are all a bit on the crabby side. Even though I am tired I am hopeful that this will work and Abram will be able to sleep without being held or being right next to someone while he sleeps. Wish us luck!!

This one had me chuckling, Oh the joys of parenting! Glad the good stuff out weighs the trials! He will get the hang of it soon. He definately looks like sleep is needed. Hugs and kisses to him and to you and Barry I say "kudos" for not giving up!
I can't believe how much Bram has changed. I totally see Angela in his face but I see hints of Barry too, of course. Such fun. Yay for The Baby Whisperer. You can do it!
Hope it continues to work so you can all rest up!! Love the pics!!
