Great news!!! 

Yesterdays naps were awesome - both 2 hours without me intervening at all!  He woke early so he really wanted that catnap at 4 or 5 but we are also having teething issues so he fought the catnap (can't all be perfect!) until later.  Bedtime was a little sticky as well but once he went down about 8pm he was down until 12:30am and woke crying mainly out of pain, I think.  We gave him some pain medicine and teething tabs and he was back down in half and hour or so.  He stayed down until 3:30am at which time I decided to feed him.  He ate the whole 8 oz. and was back down for the count!!  He woke at 6:30am for the day as happy as a clam!!  I can't tell you how happy I was.  I have also heard him up (and watched his morning nap yesterday) and it appears that he is putting himself back to sleep!  AND he is only using his dummy for a couple of minutes and then spitting it out on his own most of the time!!! 

I know they say once you think you have it figured out it all changes!!  I am keeping that in mind, as he has to go for his six month vaccinations tomorrow!  But I am so happy for the past two days anyway!!!!

Thanks for the help and all the support!!!  I'm sure I'll have more questions soon but I'm staying positive!!!

Still going great!!!!!  Vaccines made him unsettled and cranky but with some medicine, he was good!!!  Now, we are playing with the afternoon catnap to see if he really still needs it.  YEAH!!!!!!!!!  I feel like a new woman - I'm so rested I don't know what to do!!
