Leo had his four month doctor's appointment today (one week early). He's 15 pounds 13 ounces and 24.5 inches long. She said he looks like a very healthy, happy baby.
She also suggested we start sleep training. We've embarked on it tonight. Tom is doing the hard part--staying in the room with Leo, reassuring him without picking him up. I'm the wimp with the earplugs in, crying harder than Leo. We've known for a while he needs to learn to fall asleep on his own, but I've been resisting doing it. Hopefully, we don't have too many nights like this one. I totally love and admire Tom for doing this because I would cave in and pick him up after just a few minutes, totally reenforcing the crying.

You can do it! GO team!
Thanks, Jess. So far it is going well. Tom is great about staying in there and comforting Leo and Leo is sleeping well. Tonight, Tom is going to a "Dead Heads for Obama" concert, so I'm on my own. Hopefully, I don't undo all his hard work. I'm a big whimp when it comes to my baby crying.
Tom can be merciless
