Izzy: 5 Months

AH! Another month down! Isabel is 5 mo's now and it's crazy how fast the time is going with her. She's doing MUCH better at the rice cereal. She actually eats it now. I can even get her to open her mouth - almost like she wants to eat it. Which of course, I don't think she does. But she is being a good sport about it.

I started sleep training last night with her. I was hoping she wouldn't have to endure this, but she just won't give up the 2 and 5 o'clock wake times. I was looking back at the calendar I kept when James was born and he started this at 4 1/2 months. So, she's really right on track. It's just harder this time around for me. I get lazy at 2 am and just figure it's easier to put her back to sleep than it is to work with her on puttering herself back to sleep. But I'm determined.

I was going to start this on Friday, but I had to give a talk in church yesterday and the last thing I wanted to be was sleep deprived! So, 1 night down and hopefully just 2 more to go.

She is so cute! I loved your talk yesterday. You both did such an excellent job and I really appreciated all you had to say. Well done.

Kudos to you. I am really impressed that you were so strong and able to endure the first night of crying, I know that I am totally weak when it comes to more than, Oh say 10 minutes of screaming, but look what a great job she is doing.

You deserve the sleep for the job that you have done. Let me know if you have any amazing plans for potty training.
