Victory!

I am really ashamed to admit this but Quinn is nine months old and I haven't let him soothe himself to sleep. This proves how little I know about babies. I have always heard that you put your baby in his crib and let him cry himself to sleep, but I just didn't understand how that actually works. When we have tried it it seemed like Quinn would work himself up so much that he wouldn't be able to calm down without us comforting him. Well, last night we tried it and he screamed and screamed so Chris took him out, and it took two hours before he finally fell asleep. Tonight I gave him a bath, read him a story, said prayers, and put him in his crib. His crying wasn't as frantic tonight and after about twenty-five minutes miracle of miracles, he fell asleep! I can't believe it! It actually worked. My baby can now continue in his development. Hopefully I didn't ruin him by waiting too long.

Mark it down in the record books. December 29, Quinn officially took his first step. He lunged towards furniture a few times up at Ed and Joann's, but he took a step without holding onto anything or grabbing onto something afterwards yesterday down at Steadman's. Yay! He is on his way to being able to get into more mischief.
