Cooper is starting to nap during the day. I know his sleepy signs: rubbing his eyes and very red eyelids. I started putting him in his crib awake or not and shutting the door, within a couple of minutes he is off to dreamland! It's awesome.
Also, we started putting Cooper in his pack-n-play at night for his first chunk of sleep before he wakes to eat. Then we bring him back in the bed with us for the rest of the night. We've done it for two nights now, he's not phased, we're the ones having a hard time with it. It is nice to have our bed back.
Here's a picture of a very tired boy after an outing to Trader Joe's.
