20 months: Sleep!
For the last week you've been sleeping in your own room either in your crib or your bed (yes, you have both...crazy, we know). I'm so proud of you sweetie pie! You're not falling asleep by yourself yet but we'll keep plugging away at that. You're the best. I love you!
Sleeping in your bed with Eduardo tonight

20 months: $$$
Yesterday we spent $100 on diapers and wipes. Yes, on DIAPERS and WIPES. Target had the diapers and wipes you use on clearance and so I went a little crazy and got 4 boxes of diapers and a box of wipes -- total, with tax was $102.52. Crazyness!
I actually wanted to get 5 boxes of diapers but I thought your Daddy would think I was a little crazy. I thought that if I only got 4 boxes that he would think that was aokay. But apparently 4 was too much because he does think it was a bit crazy but I hate being out of diapers and you're going to use them anyway and they were on clearance and now hopefully we don't have to buy diapers from CVS.
CVS is my arch nemesis. We live less than a mile away from a CVS that is open 24 hours so we can hit them up if you're out of diapers at, I don't know, 3am. However, I don't like buying them at CVS because, and don't let those extra care bucks fool you, as someone who used to shop there all the time (in fact, Lela Carmen used to say that I should have stock in the company because I was there so much) and also as someone who worked there I know that CVS is horribly horribly overpriced. Also they usually only have a small pack of your diapers so not only are we out of a lot of moula but we're back at square one in a few days again. Ahhhh!
Anyhoo, you now have 416 diapers and 700-something wipes sitting happily in the closet. I hope once we're done with these we can start potty training. Hopefully that won't be soon though. I love you sweetie pie!

20 months: Foxwoods
Some videos from our stay at Foxwoods a few weeks ago...
The view was so pretty
We always find a way to play skeeball on our vacations
We're such cheaters

20 months: Still horrible...
Tonight is night 4 of hell sleep training
You are not liking it very much
Mama & Papa are both very sad
It's not easy to hear you cry and cry and cry
But making these made me feel a little bit better (you can tell I'm a bit sleep deprived)...
Hmmm...we have to get you one of these hats!

20 months: Sleep training is horrible
Today is night 3 of hell sleep training at the Octavio household. As I type this you are crying in the next room. :(
We decided it was time for you to make your way over to your own bed so we started helping you sleep in your crib on Friday night. It did not go well. You cried and screamed and cried and screamed for hours. You would start to calm down and then start all up again. Eventually you fell asleep though and would wake up every hour or so but put yourself to sleep. Needless to say you didn't sleep very well and neither did I.
It's been so sad to not have you in bed with us. I love waking up to your sweet little face. I like not having to worry about you since you're right next to me every night. In fact, since you were born, I think the number of nights that you haven't slept right next to me is 6 or 7 times. 5 of those nights were when we were at the hospital and they had you in the bassinet. So sad. :(
We're going to keep trying though. I know you can do this sweetie. I love you!
