big boy bed

Jonathan turned 5 months old yesterday. And I've been spoiling him (more like myself) and letting him sleep in the room with me. Well today the doctor said that he needs to start sleeping in his bed and I should ignore him when he cries. He apparently has to learn to put himself back to sleep now or he never will. Even if I dont believe that if I dont do this now he will be calling me in the middle of the night at 35 because I never taught him how to put himself to sleep, I decided to try it.

He cried for a while. I went in his room and rubbed his head and put the passer back in his mouth. Then he cried again about 10 minuets later. This time he grabbed my hand and held it next to his ear. I let him calm down and left the room again. Then he was quiet so I had to go check on him. He was staring at the ceiling sucking on his lip. The next time he cried I gave him his bottle and he fell asleep pretty quick.

Its now 3 hours later, he is sleeping in his big boy bed, and guess who is lonely. I told John and he asked if I was getting post pardon. Unless that is a secret vacation, then I guess I am just kinda sad. Maybe a phone call in the middle of the night wouldnt be so bad.
