Liza is now walking. She stiff-legged it into the kitchen from the living room tonight and was all, “O Hai! I jus walking.”
Better news: I’m now officially announcing that her sleep problems are over. We’ve gone for around a month with multiple nights in a row of uninterrupted sleep. We’ve had a few nights of waking, but those were due to travel or sickness, so I’m not counting those. Most nights she sleeps from 7:30 until 6:30. It is a thing of beauty to sleep through.
Best news: Eli is reading. We’ve been checking out books from the library that are first readers and tonight he sat down on the couch beside me and read a book to me that I’d never read to him before. Very cool.

Yay, yay and yay!!
Careful, he can read this blog now!
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Uh-oh on the reading, now it won’t be long before spelling at the table gets you into trouble. I’ll never forget the time my mom said, “Can Zach have some C-A-K-E?” and he said “YES! I want cake!” Yeah Mom, that’s right he can spell…
Happiness is a good night’s sleep?
Congratulations! (To all three of you! LOL!)
And a big “Wahoo!” to Eli on reading & Liza on walking! What a week!
Wow, all this great news! Congratulations!
Congratulations on the reading and good night sleep.
Jaime O. actually recommended your blog to me after I told her about my sleep training “woes” (I have a little boy Sean, who is almost 10 months). I’ve been a reader since. anyways, did you find with liza that a “switch” went off and she started sleeping longer (my friends who don’t sleep train say that this will be the case at some point). I just wonder because we sleep trained Sean starting at 6 months, and it wasn’t as easy as all the doctors and books said it was going to be (3 nights crying, then you’re done). Eventually Sean has been more consistent at sleeping longer, but I’m not sure I would entirely attribute it to our training as so much as he was ready to do it himself. I was just wondering your thoughts?
Wow! All sorts of awesome news! I Can’t believe how quickly they’re growing up!
