5 months old!
Sam’s been working on sleep for the last 2 weeks (late November and the first part of December) and doing quite well. We’ve been teaching him how to both put himself to sleep and to comfort himself back to sleep when he wakes in the middle of the night (thanks for the inspiration Daesman and Rodney!). Since he has been waking for 2 and sometimes 3 times per night, this is a very important learning process for him and for us :-). We did let him cry for a while the first night, but he slept 8 and 9 hours the next two nights!
As far as development goes, Sam grabbed both his feet this week (December 6-13). He also started reaching out to me and John as if to say he wants to go to us — very endearing.
