So last night was the second night following the Ferber Method and it was a huge success! The times were 5 minutes, 10 minutes, then 12 minutes. After putting him to bed, he put himself to sleep without much crying and we didn't have to go to him. Then he slept until about 3:50am, started crying and was asleep in under the 5 minute mark. He then slept until 8am this morning!!! Hallelujah! Alexander slept through the night. This is the first time in over 6 months that I have not had to get out of bed in the middle of the night!! It was wonderful!
Also, we gave him carrots for the first time last night. This is the first food other than breast milk and rice cereal for him. It was hysterical! He did not like the carrots at all. I think the taste was just so different for him that he didn't know what to do with it. We'll keep with it, and hopefully he'll get to like it. I made the food with all the new gadgets that I received for Christmas and it made it so easy (I mean pureed carrots can't be that difficult, but still it was great using my new tools) and I was able to freeze some for the next few nights.
