-Aunt BobbieHAPPY 11MTHS OWEN! I can't believe it in a month you are already going to be a year old. You have grown so fast and I am so happy to have been here to share it with you. I love you! -Aunt ShanonThats what I said.. she will only be a baby once and let me tell you... before you know it Owen will be going on 10 years old... Do what your heart tells ya.. and if that is holding him until he falls asleep than so be it. I am glad I did because Morgane grew up so fast. I can remember packing up the baby stuff and crying. Heck, I still cry at things like that. Just ask Jimmy about it..he thinks I am crazy.. Sometimes this mommy stuff is hard but the best part of it is seeing your child grow in so many beautiful ways... Sorry for being so sappy but it is a very emotional thing.. but wonderful at the same time.. !! -Angwow what a great update pictures and a story-- yes you are a mother now and tears will come more and more as you move from one stage to another. I love this little bugger so much. thanks for the new pics. love ya all -Aunt Sonyalove the new pictures I was just looking for a new for my desktop. I love you all! -Aunt ShanonPlease do not pay any attention to what Jimmy has to say... lol..
Lets meet up on the weekend for a picnic or something soon..we miss you guys... Morgane has a soccer tournament this weekend but we will be out at Jims so we will give you a call to see what your plans are.. -Miss you ! AngYou don't want me to tell ya what she has to do to get me to go to sleep !
She's lucky though, our bed is metal, so even when I do chew on it, there's no teeth marks !!
Ok on a semi serious note. Everyone goes through these little phases, keep up the good work mom and he grow up loving you for it. And Good luck !!
Miss ya lil O !!
Love ya, -Uncle JimmyJodie, I am the worst person to ask for advice on this subject. I used to have Morgane fall asleep in my arms and then tip toe in her room to lay her down for bed. When it didn't work I would try again. I did this until she was 2 years old. I know I know.. that's a long time. When she turned two I thought something has to change, so she got a TV in her room. I had one rule. The TV would only be on for 15 minutes. When it turned off then it was time for her to go to sleep and if she cried after the TV shut off then the next night she went to bed with no TV. To my surprise, this actually worked. A down fall to this is, that to this day she still has a TV in her room... and she is 9. That was just to get her to sleep at night... I never really had a problem getting her to sleep through the night... ever. I was pretty lucky with that. Well I hope everyone is doing well and we cant wait to see you and the family.. ! -Love Always Ang !!Owen, do you know of a wonderful dential hygienist that would be able to clean my teeth? I am looking for a new one... !! Any ideas? -Love ya ! MorganeThanks for the hospitality Jodie, I enjoyed being there and your home is very nice. We sure are all grown up now arn't we. I hope to see you all again during the holidays. Thanks again Love you. -Cousin Kelly, Bob and MasonSorry it took me so long to offer you some advice....The only thing I have to say about Owen's stubborn streak about not sleeping is "He is more and more like his dad every day!" Although I never had trouble with Joe sleeping at night or wanting to get out of bed he found other ways to drive me crazy! He knew which buttons to push and still does! :) You will be grey like me before he is much older for sure! I feel your pain! But he is worth it-they both are! Love ya -Grandma VHow did the date on your website jump to September already? Time is flying, but hopefully not that fast! Being that I have no child and very little child experience I can't offer any advice on the crying thing, but i do hope it stops soon! Anyway, Owen is still such a little peanut. He's is unbelievable cute. I can't wait to see him in person again. Coming home in about a month. See you all then. xoxoxoxo. -Jaymeei agree owen does have one of the best mommies in the world and you will figure out what is best for you and him. good luck love ya -Aunt SonyaSorry I can't offer any words of advice but I just wanted to let you know O that you have one of the best mommies in the whole world so don't be to rough on her. -Aunt ShanonJodie -- i feel your pain. I can't get my 10 yr old to sleep through the night and stay out of my bed, so I probably am no help. but I think the idea of allowing him to fall asleep in his crib by himself and slowly over time moving out of the room is the best idea. he needs to learn how to put himself to sleep and soothe himself something that oldest one of mine never did. Is he hungry? Does he eat cereal or a bottle before he goes down for the night? not in bed . Just a routine is what the books say helps and that moving closer to the door over time thing the supernanny has recommended a number of times. good luck hope you find what works, I could never listen to them cry it out either. love ya guys -Aunt SonyaJust do me one favor, if you crawl into the crib, please, please, have Joe take a picture and send it to me! I can't believe Owen is going to be a year old soon! He is such a cutie!! I always check for updated pictures! Hope work is going well for you..we now have 3 hygienists, how do you like that one!? -KimJodie, I heard your plea and here are my thoughts, take 'em or leave 'em! My friend's little boy did the same exact thing and she took him to the Dr. only to find out he had a mouthful of teeth about to pop through. Also, maybe he is so used to you rocking him to sleep (not that it's bad!) that now he is naturally waking up more at night and has a very hard time getting himself to go to sleep. Maybe try to put him in his crib and just keep your hand on him for a little bit until he falls asleep and then gradually move closer to the door (this might take a few weeks) until he learns to get himself to sleep. I still have Karley's Ocean Aquarium in her crib and she also has her "baby" and "blanky" plus sometimes a book, so if she does wake up she usually turns on her music and puts herself to sleep. I hope some of this helps, I know how heartbreaking it is when your child is crying!!! -KimberlyLook like that family had a nice time at Alissa's wedding. Guess you can dress us up and take us out too!!! Owen you are such a little wiggle worm now, look out when you start walking. love ya, -Aunt SonyaHi Owen, nice pictures!! I can't wait to see u!!!!! bye-bye -Love your friend, Morganejust dropping by to say hi!! LOve YA!! -LOve Always, Mark, Cassie & Monica:)
