Ethan this morning greeted me sitting up in his crib, griping the railing, and peering out over the railing. Uh oh, I thought, time to lower the mattress. We moved it down one spot, but I think it needs to go all the way down. No more bumper or mobile for the little Bear. Also I decided to try him in the big bathtub for bathtime tonight. I bathed him in his little tub inside of the bathtub, so he'd get used to the area. Next time I won't use the baby tub.
Ethan is having a lot of problems sleeping at night. He usually sleeps with me, but last night he kept plucking at my face and kicking me. At 3 I put him in his crib, and we let him cry until he fell asleep at 4. Josh talked softly to him and I picked him up a couple of times to calm him. Sleeping is such a problem. I wish I knew which philosophy to follow and which will help Ethan develop healthy sleep habits.
Ethan and I raked today. I wore him on my back in the Ergo. It worked out really well. He looked around, watched me, and dozed off for awhile. It was nice to get a major chore done and baby was happy the whole time. Plus it was in the 60s! Totally had to take advantage of the warm fall day.

I found your blog looking for nursing moms meetings on the Cape- took me to an entry in May LOL
Sorry about those sleep problems
:-(
My son is 14 months. We cosleep. When he's having an issue I let him down for a minute and then nurse him down to sleep and it seems to work well. I think they just don't know that they need to sleep LOL I also have an 8 year old who coslept so I know that they do leave your bed at some point.
Good luck
