As hard as it seems, the only way to get them to stay asleep is for them to cry it out and realize nobody is coming in to put them back to sleep. We always went in and checked on my son when he cried and now at 5 he still needs one of us to help get him back to sleep if he wakes in the night. With our daughter we decided after she was a year old to try letting her cry it out and after that week of hell it got much better. She will still cry out sometimes, but usually only if she's not feeling well or there's a reason other than just to let us know she's awake.

My daughter's two bottom teeth have finally broke through!
Then, I noticed while she was laughing that her four top teeth are beginning to break through...that explains a lot in her change of attitude.

As tough as letting them cry it out is at first, it makes things much easier once they are sleep trained. I don't know how it would be training a 1 year old, but it's worth a shot. We did it with both of our kids when they were 6 months and it worked out great.

Mines too
her bottom 3 are coming in and she cant keep her hand out her mouth. she turns 5 months tomorrow.
it gets better man, my lady milk supply dried up and we on to formula.
thursday marks baby girl as 1 month, man i feel like a zombie...
those 3am and 5 am runs downstairs to fix or warm a bottle.
did anybody have constipation problems?
the dr recommended we lay off the rice for a while bc her body might not be ready to digest it.
we gave her prune and apple juice 2 weeks ago and still no change.

It gets easier once they're a little more independent. My daughter is cool to leave in the walker with her toys now so less having to carry her and she tires herself out sometimes also.
Yup this. We try to make that last bottle a full 6 oz so she can knockout all night. Right now she's teething so it's hit or miss but when she's not she would be out all night.
Ya we had the same we tried rice to early so had to go back to formula. Now she's eating the food my girl makes along with rice and formula. Some days she loves the food other days all she wants is formula.

Full belly doesn't work
Ideally, crying it out should be done months before the age she's at but my wife can't do it
She couldn't do it with our first one either
It's a long tough road

Music def helped me, however my daughter never gave me that issue.
We have this thing that plays music as it beams light to the ceiling which helped her doze off...or sometimes i would sing to her or hum.
Keep us updated man...
So my girl 3 months now, i already know July will be here before i know it.

Took my son to see rogue one. (His first in theatre experience)
He's 2yrs 7months.
This is the movie theatre we go to. (Yup dem boys recline)
So We thought it would be better. NOPE.
As I was in line buying beers with my homies, my girl made the mistake of taking him to the arcade. So when it was time
To sit in the theatre he was calm until 20mins in. He started getting bored from all the dialogue and wanted to go back to the arcade. So we both tried to calm him down but he wasn't having it.
I decided that I was just going to bring hi to the lobby and sit it out (I could just watch the movie at home so I wasn't Trippin) I had my girl text me when there would be a big battle scene. I brought him back in with about 20 mins left of the movie and he sat through that.

i think my boy been to about 5 or 6 kid's movies at the theater. he's almost 4 and he saw sing it last weekend and enjoyed it. we don't watch tv at home except for the occasional pixar movie on pizza night so when we go to the movies, it's like a super special occasion and he's usually pretty chill.
one thing i've been noticing with myself is how hard i have to stifle my inner asian dad. when i sit with him to do his words for kumon, i get super pissed at how sloppy he writes. the teacher said it's because his fine motor skills are still developing and that boys are usually slower in that respect but i swear he's writing sloppy cause he's not focused. he can read really well but i have to catch myself from focusing on the negatives. it's a tough line for me to not tear him down and be over-critical and yet not be too lax as a parent. my wife has to always remind me that he's only 3. i hate feeling like..

Daughter is exactly a year and a half and she's becoming a little monster 
Is this when the "Terrible Two's" that people talk about start happening?
She does this thing where she just lays down now whenever I "yell" at her
View media item 2295030
And she climbs in everything. We were putting away the Xmas stuff yesterday and after coming back in from throwing away the tree, I walk into this

My daughter started that fall/lay down "tantrum" stuff after she learned to walk. At first she would casually lay down making sure she didn't hurt herself then she started to get brave and would baseball slide at will. She's not doing it anymore thank God.
Youngest girl is 8 months now and I'm about to start planning her first birthday party which will be basically a few decorations and a barbecue. She was born on Cinco de Mayo so as much as I want to have tacos and drink tequila I also don't want things to be that kind of stereotypical and kinda offensive.
Anybody else's kids watch Puffin Rock? think I asked before but couldn't remember if my girls were the only ones
