Can I have 3-4 hours of sleep pleassee?

The current time right now is 2am in the morning and my eyes are about to bleed out of my head. My son is still up, playing and watching a Tigger & Pooh marathon on tv in his jumperoo and banging his pacifier happily. This little party animal never sleeps. Ever since I gave birth (8 months ago) We have not had more than 3 consecutive hours of sleep. As sleep deprived as I am, I remind myself that he is only this small for a short period of time and every minute I have with him should be cherished(even if I'm half awake). We are taking him to his 8 month check up this week, I'll be sure to ask the doctor for sleeping advice, I'm crossing my fingers that he has a magical solution besides the cry it out method. If not, I'm writing a letter to Oprah...she can figure out anything, right?

Here comes trouble!

My little man is taking advantage of his new found skill, causing trouble! In just one week, he is able to pull himself up in the playpen and crib, Scoot around the floor strapped into the booster seat! and my favorite ..... attempting to escape out of the swing! I now understand why some of you moms put those ridiculous leashes on your children.

I better get busy child proofing!

Help Get my Baby to Sleep!

One mistake I have made as a Mom so far is not having my son sleep in his crib in those first few weeks. He now HATES his crib, he wont even play in there for more than a few minutes. If me or my husband are not right next to him at night he will not fall asleep. Not only does he have to sleep with us but he also wakes up several times in the middle of the night to "snack"(breastfed). We have tried the CIO method (Cry it out) but he crys so much and so long that we can never go through with it. It's just so sad to hear him and see him looking at us through those little wooden bars in his crib, he crys like we put him in jail! Its heartbreaking. If you have any advice please share!
