Mark has been doing really well with his sleep training! Yesterday we went for his 4 month checkup and he is healthy and growing well! He is up to 14 pounds 11 ounces and 25 1/4 inches long! He is in the 50th percentile for his age. We have been swaddling him since we brought him home from the hospital and continued to do so up until now because it has always helped him to sleep a little better....especially when we were in the condo and all basically in one room :) So now that we are in the house and that he's in his own room and sleep trained we thought it was time to start weaning him off of the swaddle. I decided to do it little by little...althought the dr suggested going cold turkey...I thought that was cruel :(. I swaddled him tonight but left one arm free. It took him 16 mins tonight to fall asleep...that seemed long to me...he usually falls asleep in mins but I hope he starts to get used to being "free."
Today was a beautiful fall day and we spent the day getting new library cards at the beautiful library near our house, getting a few things to upgrade the house and unpacking. Mark was very happy today and giggling a lot! He loved the xmas decorations at Menards!! We had a great Saturday together. :)
