wow.

Last night, he slept for eight hours. In a row. Nursed, went back to sleep for another three hours. Amazing.

His morning naps are clocking in at closer to two hours lately.

Our evenings seem so much calmer and more spacious.

But here’s my question. When is the OUT part of CIO going to kick in? As in, when does it happen that we put him down to sleep and he DOESN’T cry for half an hour first.

Okay, sometimes with the naps he only cries for five minutes.

Also interesting has been his intra-crib gymnastics. During the crying phase, he does 360s, ending up perpendicular to the mattress with his legs hanging out the bars one moment, and then scrunched up in one corner with his forehead against the “head”board, one arm out the slats, and face DOWN–but breathing–the next time I visit.

I think it’s okay to let him sleep face down now that he’s seven months old. However, we will be buying a mesh crib bumper tomorrow to stop the limbs from escaping.

Considering a video monitor now as the newfound mobility has me checking on him even more often. Anyone have a brand they like? So far, the online reviews are not making any product look particularly good.
