Sleep update

So I am doing a new thing with sleep...  I've been trying to get Colin to fall asleep on his own in his crib.  (That sounds a lot easier than it is.... ha!) If I leave the room he will scream uncontroallably for HOURS.... trust me... I try it on a regular basis. So instead I've been staying in his room until he falls asleep.

Most people (my husband included) will probably think I am crazy. I literally put him in his crib and then get a pillow and lay on the floor beside the crib. Sometimes it takes hours... sometimes 30 minutes. It is a battle of wills... but he has fallen asleep 5 times on his own within the past 2 weeks.
To me... that it is progress. He doesn't sleep long... anywhere between 2-4 hours usually.  But I'm hoping this whole falling asleep in his crib will help.
