Now that I'm approaching my 6 month birthday, my parents have decided that bedtime will be on THEIR terms... not mine (boo!). Soooo, last night they decided to "Ferberize" me. Dr. Richard Ferber is the father of the "cry-it-out" method of getting babies to sleep. Supposedly, this will make me a great sleeper for the rest of my life! Anyways, the night started with me fussing for 5 minutes, then Mommy and Daddy came to soothe me, then I cried for 10 more - then another visit... and so on. It took me a total of 18 minutes to fuss myself to sleep! Pretty impressive for my first night! (Although it was the longest 18 minutes of my parents' lives!) When I woke up at 2 a.m. for Round II, it only took me 12 minutes to fall back asleep... And, tonight, according to experts, should be better! Yay for all of us!!!
