I think Aiden is going through some major separation anxiety at night. He woke up about an hour after we put him down last night and just would not go to sleep without us. I know some of you are saying...just let that boy cry it out and you'll be done with this...but I just can't. I've done it once, but this phase just seems a little different. I read in my baby journal that separation anxiety is at its peek right now and I'm definitely feeling that. The thought of my baby being scared and feeling alone and me just letting him cry breaks my heart. I would hate to feel that way myself, so why would I let my baby feel that way? I'm sure I'll eat my words when three months down the road we are still going through this, but right now I feel like I'm doing the right thing.
On a happier note, Aiden is learning sooo much right now. He's finally figured out how to hold his sippy cup and lean his head back to get the water out. Shawn and I were so proud when we saw him do it. We had been trying to teach him, but he wasn't getting it until the other day. Also, he's starting to copy us and yesterday at lunch he was kinda yelling out just to see the reaction on our faces. He's much more interested now in being on his tummy too. We think he's gonna start crawling at any time. He just needs to get those legs working.
