Since Mason, was born, Darcy and I have always said if he would just sleep through the night he would be the perfect baby. Well, it has taken a long 11 months but it's official: He's Perfect!!
It is seriously a miracle! If you remember Mason, started out as the typical newborn sleeper, waking up every three hours. (which I was totally okay with). Then suddenly at 3 months he started waking up every hour on the hour at night. (which I was not okay with). I read books, tried a million things to help him sleep better, but no luck. We tried letting him cry it out for a while, but he was so little and would cry for so long, I just couldn't do it. This went on for over a month, gradually he started waking up every 2 hours, then at 6 months he was back to his newborn routine of every 3 hours. Up until last week he was still getting up 2-3 times per night. Something had to be done! Since, we live in a 2 bedroom apartment, Mase has always slept in our room. We decided to move him into Londy's room all by himself and move her bed into our room. Then I mentally prepared myself.... we were just going to let him cry. My plan was to go in 1 time during the night at first and then not at all. So the first night went really well, he woke up once, to which I got up, fed him, and put him back to sleep, and then slept until morning! The next night he totally slept through the entire night and has ever since, what the..... he didn't even cry. Now he sleeps a full 12 hours at night, I guess he just wanted his own room.
Mason is a delight. He is still so happy and easy going. Whether his is teething, sick, being bossed by his sister, or running errands with me all day he never complains. He LOVES his Daddy, and usually prefers him to me, which Darcy loves. I don't mind, he still snuggles me and crawls around the house all day saying, "mama, mama", and gives me big slobbery kisses! He is pure sunshine and we all love him to pieces!
