Mike & I both agree that we cannot attempt the parenting method of "letting your child cry themselves to sleep". I know we may be creating bad sleeping habits but our thoughts are that he will only be this young once and we want to know that we did everything in our power to make his early life a peaceful as possible, aside from that, we love watching him sleep. He looks like a little angel.
I have started a pattern early on, that as soon as he wakes up, I meet him with a huge smile and say "good morning", he has caught on too because in response I receive a HUGE smile back and usually a little giggle.
Just recently we figured out that he loves to have his back tickled, he literally goes into a state of trance almost. On Saturday night we were playing on his blanket when he became a little restless so I started to tickle his back, about 2 minutes later he was crashed out clutching his favorite giraffe rattle. I honestly think there is nothing more rewarding then staring at someone you have created and seeing them look so happy and peaceful...
