At 12:59 a.m., Jack turned 5 months old! During that time, we have endured some seriously long days -- but, somehow, time is flying by way too fast. We are having lots of (sleep-deprived) fun!
To commemorate Jack's birthday, we decided to let him "cry it out" this morning. Ugh. After waking up at about 2 a.m. for a bottle -- which he didn't really need -- Jack screamed (literally) and cried for a 45 minutes before finally soothing himself and going to sleep. It was MISERABLE. For all of us. I never realized that letting your baby cry takes serious restraint. Even in the middle of the night.
Here's a video of Jack in happier times. He laughs so easily now, and it is the best sound in the world.
