Ethan started sleeping in the crib at night on June 2nd.  I think that I had been waking him in the middle of the night by rolling over or getting up to go to the bathroom.  He is loving sleeping in his own room and I think we are all getting more sleep!  I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to sleep with him in the nursery but it has been a good move.  I don't think we were all ready until now.

6/16- I can feel the tip of a tooth (bottom right) coming through!  That explains why Ethan hadn't been sleeping well at night for a few days.

"Are we done yet, Mom?"
