So Proud!!!

The past month has been so busy! But full of excitement and milestones! Isaiah is one wild little man!! Our big 9 and a half month old, I can't believe in a few short months he will be 1!!! It has been so fun to learn about being a mommy to a little boy! I have learned ALWAYS even if I am moving the stroller for a few seconds, always belt him in! The other day he was standing straight up in the stroller. Isaiah is a climber, he climbs OVER our barricades on the stairs and heads up to the top!! Yesterday I put him down on the deck for just a couple of seconds and he went straight for our pot of dirt!!!!!! HE IS ALL BOY and we love it!

Lately he has made several attempts at saying Maddie, he said nanna for banana!! He babbles all the time and when he wants out of his crib in the morning he tells us all about it!!

Which leads me to BIG NEWS in the Peppers House!! The other night I randomly decided to let him cry it out to learn how to sleep!!!!!!!!!! For those of you that know me well this was HUGE!! It was at the point where he wanted me to come in and rock him back to sleep. He cried for 30 minutes the first time, I sat on the couch VERY angrily with my ears plugged and thought, "I can't believe people tell you to do this." After 30 minutes suddenly it was quiet, I knew something had happened so I creeped into his room, I had to know he was still breathing and he was!! Now he does cry for a few minutes everytime I lay him down but he is sleeping completely through the night!! I feel like a new woman!!!! =)

I've learned a lot through it and I am REALLY thankful I did it! I haven't felt this proud of myself for awhile. This really was something I didn't think I could do! And it makes me feel like we will and can have more children!! I was wondering there for awhile. Of course many years from now!!
