for a while there Valen was waking up two or three times a night and his wake time in the morning would be 730 or something. (way too early!) which was getting very frustrating! i had to hold him during the day for 30 minutes or so till he would fall asleep for a nap. then at night i would do the same thing.. even still he would cry. ahhh but the past couple days i decided to lay him down for bed and just stand there and sing to him and touch him, he kinda fussed and sucked his hands a lot, but after about 10 or 15 minutes he went to sleep. and slept till 530am! then again until 1030. that was heaven! so for his naps i laid him down again and just left and he fell asleep! i thought this was going to take weeks for him to get used to, but i guess not. he is not as fussy during the day either.maybe it is because he is getting a better nights sleep! so tonight we laid him down and it took 10 or so minutes but then he calmed himself down and is now sound asleep!

i think part of it is because he started rolling over a couple days ago and likes to sleep on his side now. he sleeps so much better and sounder. he never did like his back!  if he keeps this up i am going to be so stinkin ecstatic i wont know what to do with myself!
