Sleepyhead

We knew Caleb was worn out from all of the travelling we've done over the last couple of weeks, but we were kind of baffled because he was not necessarily sleeping for long stretched and he would wake up if we tried to place him in a crib/pack 'n play no matter how deep his sleep was.

Last night after we came home from dinner, we were moving around the house unpacking our bags. Mom took Caleb into his room and put him in the crib. She didn't do expecting him to sleep, but rather she wanted to put him in a safe place while we worked. Of course, not long after she laid him down, he started crying. But what really caught us by surprise was that he cried himself to sleep in five to ten minutes. He was actually sleeping in his crib! He woke up about 1:30 and he spent the rest of the night with Mom, but Mom got several hours of good sleep on her own and we consider that a victory.

He did spend the rest of the night with Mom. Mom took this picture of Caleb this morning on his changing table. She was trying to get ready to go to work and he kept falling asleep while she changed him. I guess he got plenty of rest last night because Mom said he was in a pretty good mood all day today. The few minutes I saw him this morning he was very happy.

Right now, he is sleeping with Mom. I will try to move him to the crib when I go to bed in a few minutes, though I don't expect to him to stay there long. We've been doing some reading on the subject and this weekend we're going to start a training regimen to get him on a schedule and reestablish the crib as his sleeping spot.
