I can't believe my baby is a month old already! (pretty sure I'll start every post out with "I can't believe he's ... old already)

We are still in a fussy stage and sleeping less at night now. Monday we started a new routine of putting Owen to bed earlier and trying to get him used to sleeping in his crib. The first night went okay but it's gone downhill from there. Last night he was waking up every hour and a half and was only happy while he was nursing. Finally around 3:30 (after it was my turn to cry it out) we laid down in bed and nursed that way and we both fell asleep. Not my ideal but if it meant sleep I was okay. Co-sleeping was something I always said I wouldn't do but so far with Owen we've only done the few things I said I never would. I guess even when you set your expectations extremely low you can still be disappointed. I'm slowly learning to adjust though. Hopefully we can get this nighttime sleeping issue figured out. Usually we swaddle him before putting him down but this morning he was fussing and calmed down as soon as I unswaddled him so tonight we're trying him in just a sleeper to see how he does. I figure it can't make anything worse at this point.

Our days our hit & miss with where he sleeps. Sometimes he'll sleep in the bassinet or in the Moby or just while I'm holding him. Sometimes he fights sleep like crazy and other times it's not an issue. There's still nothing I can count on happening during the day other than diaper changes and lots of nursing. He does seem to get tired around the same time everyday though.
