Why my 1 1/2 year old ROCKS!

First I told you about why my 3 year old ROCKS and DOESN'T ROCK, now let me tell you about why my one and a half year old (almost) rocks my world!

-She is ridiculously hilarious, she does the silliest things.

-She is so smart, she talks up a storm, including two word phrases.

-Her face lights up when I walk in the room.

-She goes to bed without a peep.

-She loves to kiss and hug little dollies.

-She eats pretty much everything you give her.

-She is super strong and resilient. She jumps up after taking huge falls.

-She loves to sit on my lap and sing songs or read books.

- She gives The. Best. Hugs.

-She loves to cuddle at night.

Yeah, she rocks!

We tried the pick up/put down method. After our bedtime routine is over, I lay her down and walk out of the room. When she cried I would go in and try to comfort her with her pacifier, rubbing her back, etc. If she still cried I picked her up and rocked her gently until she calmed down. Then I would lay her back down and leave the room. If she cried again, I would pick her up, quiet her down again, then lay her down, all without saying a word. This went on a looooong time the first few nights. Then it just clicked with her and she stopped crying for me.

Although she still wakes up around 2 AM and she does NOT go back to sleep, no matter what I do. So she ends up in bed with me again.

I hope you can find something that works for you guys!!!!
