The Sleep Training Diaries: Night 2

OWEN SLEPT FOR 8 (YES, 8!!!) uninterrupted hours! He went to bed at 6:45pm and woke up at 3:15am! He then had intermittent crying until about 4am (it was really hard not to go check in on him). But, he put himself back to sleep and then didn't wake up again until 7:30am! No food for 13 hours! He, obviously, woke up famished but, nonetheless, he had a HUGE smile on his face and so did we!

Unfortunately, naps today were not that great. We had a full day of activities and, maybe because it was 80 and sunny, Owen never slept for longer than 45 minutes in his stroller/carseat. Then, he finally fell asleep at 4:15pm in his crib and has been sleeping since (it's 6:15pm). We're trying to figure out whether or not to wake him ("Don't wake a sleeping baby!") so we can still get him to bed between 7-8pm but I don't think that's going to happen.

Goodness, setting a sleep schedule is TOUGH!
