Oct 20. LUke Dieter 8 Months

Luke is now 8 months old and so very handsome. He has a smile that would melt anyone's heart and we just love having him in our family. He is still pretty fussy but in his difference it is usually when I don't keep him on his schedule. Putting him in the Ergo is still a cure all and I thank Heaven for that every day. I am so glad there is something to do to make him happy. We started sleep training at 7.5 months. It took three days of me sleeping right next to a blaring sound machine but he did great. I am sure the first night was worse for me, I don't think Luke even cried.

** journal at 7 months. We love our little man so much and so thankful to be getting a little sleep.

Today my boy is 7 months old and yesterday was the first (hopefully of many) day that he did not scream or cry at me once! What a glorious day. I forgot I could be so happy**
