From Crabby to Calm

It has been a rough past couple of days for all of us. Derick has been miserable for about 4 days. Russell and I were having to tag team. I would be up at night with him 3 or 4 times and then Russell would come home from work and take him for a few hours so that I could sleep for a bit. Derick finely got a tooth to pop through on Sunday. YEAH! The only thing that would make him happy was to go on a walk so we did a lot of that. My only wish is that he would of had more teeth pop through at one time and not just one. He has been such a happy boy now that his mouth dose not hurt.

The Past Five Months

Sleeping In His Crib

Derick is now almost 5 months old. It is great! He loves to smile and play. WE are now working on getting him to sleep in his crib. I have always put him in bed with me because I was in survival mode. He had colic for about 4 months and I did what ever worked so that I could get a bit of sleep.
We are doing pretty good about getting him to sleep for a bit in his bed. He will take at least one nap a day in there and he will sleep for a bit of the night in his crib. It really is like new found freedom.
Little by little we will get him sleeping all of the time in there. I can't wait!
