So, I have a serious question as I post this at 1:45 in the morning. Do other parents have children that sleep? I honestly thought that by 8 months my son might be somewhat closer to sleeping through the night. And NO, I do not mean what the professionals qualify as sleeping through the night (although even that 5-hour stretch would be nice). I put Riok to bed tonight around 9:00. He woke up around 11:00. I changed him, fed him, put him back to sleep. He woke up again at 1:15. The only thing that keeps me from going COMPLETELY INSANE is co-sleeping. Without that, I wouldn't even be the walking zombie that I am, I would just be straight up DEAD!!! (Wait one sec, he's up again) Okay, now as he sits on my lap typing this plea with me.........Now, I know what you're asking yourself. Do I let him sleep all day long? HA. HA. HA. Don't make me laugh. Every few days he might take one 2-hour nap, if I'm lucky. Seriously, what am I doing wrong??? Now, I know you saw my previous Mt. Dew post, and you're thinking, DUH? But if I didn't do the dew, I could never keep up with him. So as a poll... How many mommies have had similar dilemmas??? ...And without further ado. The one rare shot of BLISS
Let it snow!

My oldest daughter was like that. She's 4 now and is just starting to sleep through the night. Woot! I don't think you're doing anything wrong at all, I just think that some kids sleep and others don't!
I won't even bother suggesting the various sleep tricks (put him to bed with one of your shirts etc etc) because I'm sure you've tried them all.
Hang in there, I promise it gets better! 18 months seemed to be the magic number for my kids.
