Sleep

We have been trying to get Owen to sleep through the night for the last couple of nights. Not to say that he doesn't sleep well, because he does, but I'm a little tired of getting up every night at 4 am and I keep reading that after babies are 12-14 lbs they don't need to eat in the middle of the night. He's around 17 or 18 lbs now, so he really doesn't need it. And, I really do think it's for his own good to stop waking up. It's not like I  have a 4 am snack every night. We've been doing a sort of "modified" cry-it-out since we're both a couple of softies, which we discovered after the first night. He woke up a bunch of times throughout the night and then woke up at 6am and cried until 7 when I fed him and then put him back to bed. Then he slept until 9:30. Last night was way better. He woke up at 12 (when we went to bed), but went back to sleep on his own after only about 5 minutes. Then he woke up again at 4. Kris went in and put his soother in and not much else... he went back to sleep. Then he woke at 7:15 am and cried until 7:30 or so when we got up. Now, he's been sleeping since 10:00 with no help... he never does that. I can't wait to see what will happen tonight.
