Ezekiels first night in his crib!

Since Zeke was born, we've had him sleeping in our bed with us which has been awesome and hard at the same time.  Last night for the first time we put him in his crib.  He did such a great job!  He woke up only once to eat and get a diaper change at 6am and then woke up again at 8:30.   At Zeke's 4 month appointment the doctor said she would recommend that we start teaching him to self soothe by laying him down on his own while he is slightly awake and letting him fall asleep on his own, or cry himself to sleep as the case has been for naps during the day.   It's pretty amazing...  I barely slept at all last night... I was so worried that I wouldn't hear him cry or that he would just be scared all night long that I felt anxious.  I'm just glad that he got a better sleep than I did and hopefully tonight will be just as good.  I am a little nervous about tonight...  I mean so far it seems a little too good to be true.
