He finally SLEEPS!

Luke can finally fall asleep on his own! This is a proud time in our home. To most people, a child falling asleep in a highchair may be a normal sight but for me, the mother of the most stubborn sleeper, it is something that I have never witnessed. He was just eating lunch one day and I left the room for a few minutes and came back to see this. So cute! I just plopped him in his crib and waited for the cry but he kept on sleeping. He did this in the highchair three days in a row and the next day around nap time I just read him books and put him in his crib (awake) with his monkey and he slept. We did it at night too and it has worked like a champ! No more nursing or rocking to sleep after 16 months of that nonsense! I am doing this so much earlier with my next kid. Now he sleeps better than ever and I don't have to lie awake at night worrying about how Luke will still need to be nursed to sleep until he goes away to college. AHHH! (sorry to bore those that have good sleepers)
