We had just been setting the camera on the corner of the rail of Z's crib. Over the past month or so he discovered what it was and started knocking it off of the rail, most of the time onto the floor but a couple of times he pulled it into his crib. Over the weekend we lowered the crib mattress and I figured that since he doesn't yet stand in his crib and the cord is tucked behind the corer bar out of sight it would be fine and stay there. Nope, during his morning nap he pulled it down.
Right now it is sitting on a box of diapers next to his bed with packing tape over it so he can't push it over.
How is your older baby/young toddler's video monitor set up so they don't play with it?
Yeah, I agree that letting her cry is an all or nothing ordeal. You either have to hold strong as long as it takes (unless there is something clearly wrong) or rock her to sleep with no crying.
Can you see if it works out with your MIL's plan for the wedding photos and if not do your small family photos on another day after you get back from vacation?
No, once he is in his bed for the night he stays there. We have sleep trained though, I don't know if you guys have done that or not. If she hadn't been in there long and maybe just thinks it was a nap it might be fine.
My brother's birthday is 4 days after Christmas. My parents don't do anything out of the ordinary for his birthday that they don't do for the rest of our birthdays. I will say though that my mom once said that they are sure to wrap his gifts in birthday paper and not Christmas paper.
Thanks! I'll take it! I'm still not sure about all of the gothchick nonsense (not to mention the ultra conservative nonsense), but I will stop calling you creepy 54yo Terri Sue from the midwest. lol
Then explain why you have that and how it shockingly is the same name as the SO troll
I tried to claim the name so the SO troll would not come back or at least come back as another name. That person kept coming back and deactivating and it was annoying so I tried to take the name. I don't think that it worked though because they came back anyway. So there that name sits in my log in screen. Zero posts and I have never relogged in.
</div>No, and in my time on different message boards, incompetence at posting a picture to verify identity is often a way to hide the fact that you don't want to show a picture. Claiming ignorance on how is a cover.
I am considering it, but my pizza baby is taking a nap and we are getting furniture delivered any time now. So, unless you want a picture of his leg on the monitor you will have to wait a while.
I will accept a monitor leg. As long as it has today's date and the phrase pizza baby somewhere. lol
Just post a pizza baby picture and this could allllll be solved...

Like I explained... I "claimed" the name of "thatgothchick" but never posted under it and never log in. Look under the active names. That name has zero posts and hasn't been logged for over a year. Ellie should have mentioned that as well.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!!! What an odd name to "claim" and what an awful coincidence to have the same name as some who trolled SO. Just stop already and leave.
While I appreciate the call out, I am real and my baby is real. I know there is not much I can do to prove that to anyone after all that has happened, but believe what you will.
STFU. You are not real. Ellie already said you had the same IP as the goth chick troll. That's a pretty hard thing to fake.

My son was doing this at 6 months, but add in an 11:00 wake up also. It was terrible. We did sleep training on the advice of our doctor and since then our lives are so much better. We are all rested and he is so much happier. It sucks when you are going through it, but so much better on the other side.
What exactly do we need to do to sleep train? I have read a bit about it and we have let her cry but she never seems to settle. I know we weren't fully committed and doing it right.
We did a type of cry it out I guess. We did our nightly routine (bath, bottle) and then put him into his bed. He takes a pacifier so we gave that to him and then told him goodnight and left. The first night he cried for a while, I don't remember how long, maybe 30-45 minutes. The next night he cried for 15-20 minutes, the third night for 5ish and then it was done. The middle of the night wake ups decreased on their own from there too. We knew that he wasn't hungry so we let him cry. When he would wake up it wasn't hard to get him back to sleep, we just had to find the pacifier for him and leave. A friend also suggested the Wubanub, he could find that on his own at this age and it wouldn't roll away from him. Once we gave him this (night 2) the middle of the night wake ups pretty much ended.
We started by doing the 3, 5, 10 minute checks but we went away from that quickly because they weren't helping him. I can remember sitting at home with him the first morning after he woke up and he was so sad and tired and I called my husband at work crying because I didn't know if I could do it again. But we talked about it again that night and said that the first night that we just went through would be for nothing basically if we didn't stick with it. It got better that night and better the next night.
Since we did this about 5.5 months ago there have only been a couple of nights that he has not slept through the night and we can explain those by being out of town or him being sick. Naps in his crib kind of just happened after this too. The first 6 months were terrible though and even now every night I go to bed and think that maybe tonight is the night when the magic of sleep ends.
