Rooster is walking, talking and pointing all the time now. It's just an amazing sight.

He's also mostly sleeping through the night without me needing to help him back to sleep. Last night he fell asleep at 6:45 pm and he awoke this morning at 6:15 am! What a journey this has been! A wonderful, sometimes tiring journey that, I am pleased to say, did not require any sleep training. If you are a mother who nurses to sleep and/or co-sleeps with your infant rest assured that a time will come when your baby is ready to do it on his/her own. It may take baby steps (we've had so many!). Be patient - your baby will let you know when he/she is ready to move on to the next step. It will happen!
