better

seven months in, we are finally sleeping through the night. the last couple months i have been waking up with him to nurse, and waking up a lot. since he is pretty big i just assumed that he was legitimately hungry. we had one night last week that was rough, not enough sleeping for me or for rowe. i had been trying soft, kind methods for encouraging sleep and they just had not been fruitful. so, the next night i turned my monitor down a bit again to see if he could be "encouraged" to self-soothe. what do you know, he slept from 9 until 7. next night, same thing. i feel like it was so vital for my heart to realize that rowe might need to learn some things the hard way. here i am taking the credit when it could have been his sweet giraffe cribmate:-)
