Sleep!

Jaydon needs more sleep - we know this and are working on it. He is now taking three or four naps a day (almost all in his crib, unless we are out and he falls asleep in his car seat) but he still refuses to sleep for more than one sleep cycle. That means after he goes down he will wake up in about 30 minutes (it is scary how close to exactly 30 it is most of the time) and he will not go back down. At this point we have had to go to the cry it out technique to get him to even go to sleep but we haven't been too successful at getting him to cry his way through from the first sleep cycle to get to the second. It is extremely painful to sit and listen to your baby cry but he is a stubborn child who will fight sleep with all he has. His bedtime is now about 6-6:30pm and he still wakes up three times a night most nights.

He fell asleep in his bouncy seat playing with dad one morning.

After a poor day of napping we were trying to get him 10 more minutes before putting him down to keep with some semblance of a schedule. You can see Jaydon couldn't quite wait that 10 minutes.

We have seen some progress so hopefully we will have more success soon. Jaydon is not the easiest baby I have been around but he sure is worth it.
