Our Little Guy.... He is getting to be so BIG! He is starting a phase in life where he wants to do everything all by himself. He is so proud that he can walk up and down the stairs all by himself, and put away his toys all by himself.

His newest thing? He can go to sleep all by himself! YAY! For the past 16 months, I have always put him down for naps or at night by rocking him, and he would fall asleep in my arms. But today for his nap, he didn't want to be rocked, and walked straight to his crib wanting to get in it. So I put him in, said "night, night", and walked out. He talked for a little bit, I'm sure he was telling himself what a big boy he was for doing this all by himself, and fell asleep within minutes! I hope this is a sign of times to come, because I have to admit that it was nice to be able to put him down so quickly.

That is so exciting!! I have to say that the day you can finally just put them in their crib and they actually sleep is one of the BEST days ever!!

Yeah- what a big accomplishment! Isn't funny how suddenly one day- out of nowhere they decide that it is time to start doing this. I love it. Yeah for prolonged hours of sleep as well- for mommy and baby.
