Poor Eli, he had a rough start to the night last night. He had been sleeping well all day and eating well too, but when it came time to go to bed, he couldn't settle himself down. Charlie stayed up with him until about midnight when I fed him again. He was so worked up that it gave him the hiccups! I tried a couple tricks that I had read about in an article on helping your kids sleep - I put him near the bathroom and turned the fan on high (for white noise) and covered him up with the t-shirt that I had been wearing (so he would feel 'close to me' through the night). It worked like a charm! He needed the sleep too - he had worn himself out with all that crying. Poor baby!
