6 Months Update

My little baby boy turned 6 months old on Sunday. I had a moment of sadness thinking about how fast he has grown up and how much I miss the teeny tiny baby stage. Caleb is getting bigger and more independent every day. I am loving his current stage but miss the little baby stage too. Caleb had his 6 month doctors appointment yesterday. Dr Abel says Caleb is looking great and growing right on schedule. Up until this point Caleb has not be a great sleeper. He is up at least once every night. We discussed this with his doctor and Dr Abel gave us some pointers on how to help Caleb sleep through the night. The hard part is that we will need to let him "cry it out" in the middle of the night. I love to run into his room and snuggle him close when he cries but Dr Abel says - no more! So, we are going to work on sleeping through the night and not rocking him back to sleep when he gets up. Pray for me that I survive :)
