MILEStones - Month 5

I can't believe our little man is 5 months old. In a blink of an eye, he's almost half a year! I'm not going to lie, this has been a tough month for us. The 4 month sleep regression hit us hard, and we were never able to fully recover. The majority of this month I was getting up every hour and a half to 2 hours at night, and it started a vicious cycle of me doing anything to get him to go back to sleep, and I know I was starting to create bad habits. But we are in the process of officially sleep training, so fingers crossed things start to improve soon! 

One small thing I want to write down so I don't forget happened in the middle of the night during one of our multiple night wake ups. It was 4 am and I was at the point where I needed to do something to get this kid to sleep more than 60 minutes. So at 4 am I took him into our guest room and put him in his Dock - a - Tot. When we got settled, I gave him my finer to hold and he instantly fell asleep. I mean, instantly. It was the sweetest thing, and even though I was utterly exhausted, it completely melted my heart. He then slept for a solid 4 hours. I know it's a habit I won't continue, but I definitely want to remember his sweet little hand clutching my finger as he drifted off to sleep.
