So far so good. They went to sleep last night after about 20 minutes of crying and tonight they went to sleep after 22 minutes. (Yes I'm a little neurotic about it, don't want them to cry to long!)
Last night they stayed asleep until 1am , then Beck was up at 3am, and both back up at 4:30 st which point I let Beck cry it out a bit after feeding him because he was just resisting sleep. And he was asleep within 5 minutes. And they were so much happier today until it was time for Daddy to leave for work, at which point they wailed at the top of their lungs for a good 30 minutes. Go figure.
Side note- I tried to make Alton Brown's "The Chewy" chocolate chip cookie tonight. I'm always on the look out for a great chewy chocolate cookie recipe. But as luck would have it I think I totally failed at it. First I was short a few ingredients- I had no bread flour only all purpose, I was out of vanilla, and I thought I had a ton of brown sugar and I ended up having only half of what I needed. So after I adjusted the recipe to what I had they turned out puffy and not chewy. Majorly disappointed, but the next time I'm at the store I'll get the missing ingredients and try again. Good news is that at least I won't eat cookies all night long and gain 10lbs while doing so. The Wii fit would have a field day with me if I did!!

Hey Debbie!
Healthy Sleep Habits Happy CHild - is the BOMB seriously. It worked like a charm for my first (now 4) and the twins (17 months). WE just swaddled em up in the miracle swaddling blankets and put em to bed and snoozy - snoozy!! I remember thinking if they don't sleep all day SURELY they would be tired at night. Imagine my surprise when I read in the book that it is quite the opposite. I'm not the type to read parenting books and treat them like the gospel when parenting my kids - but this book is a MUST HAVE!! I hope things continue to go well for you guys and you will have full nights of sleep in no time!

Your babies are adorable. FYI for the BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies in the world...just use the "Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie" receipe that comes with the butter flavored crisco. Believe it or not it's AWESOME. The cookies aren't exactly "chewy" but they are moist and delicious and not at all crunchy!!! LOVE IT
