Big Step

So we have this great bassinet that has wheels---therefore, I roll Cason with me everywhere I go if he is sleeping. I always know he is safe because he is always within sight. I am super paranoid that something will happen while he is sleeping if I can't see him and I knew I had to get over my fear. Yesterday, I finally started letting him take naps in his crib. We have a video monitor and an Angel monitor thanks to my friend Wendie who told me about hers (the Angel monitor will go off if he doesn't make any movements for 20 seconds). Therefore, I can let him take naps in his crib and not be worried that he will stop breathing. The video monitor allows me to look at him whenever I want. I know this sounds a little--no probably a lot overprotective but I can't help it!!! It will still be quite a while before I feel comfortable letting him sleep in his crib during the night but this is a big step for mom :)

Sleeping through the night update: We had a three great nights last week. Two nights he slept 6 hours and one night he slept 7 hours (I did have to give him his pacifier a couple of times but he would go right back to sleep). This week he is back to the same old waking up every 3-4 hours. I hope we can get back to the longer nights soon!

This is a picture of him in his crib---the cutest little boy ever!
