Helo and His Own Room.

I know there are A LOT of proud moments as parents, and Dan and I have had quite a few already. And we had another... Helo is sleeping in His own room all night!!!
Helo was ready to move into His room about a month ago, but I was hesitant. I enjoyed having that comforting feeling that both my men were right next to me all night (Helo in the bassinet). But I knew eventually that Helo would be in His own room and in order for Him to grow independently, as a Mom I would need to suck up my own discomfort and allow Helo His own room (literally). But as an excuse the last month, I told Dan that because we have family coming up to visit, if we moved Helo to His own room, He would be back in ours anyways.
So to keep the memory detailed... On Tues Jan 3, Helo did His regular bed time routine (eat, bath, massage, eat) and was asleep and in bed by 7:30pm. Before Dan and I went to bed, I went and woke up Helo at 10:30 for a feeding. Then Helo was back in His bed by 10:45pm. Dan and I went to bed and Helo woke up at 2:33am for another feeding. Helo was back in bed by 2:49am (and Mommy by 2:50). Then Helo woke up for the day at 8:22am Wed morning!
We were so proud of Helo!
The next night Helo slept in His room again... Helo had His regular bedtime routine (eat, bath, massage, eat) and He was asleep and in bed by 7:30pm. I went in and woke him up at 10:15pm for a feeding and Helo was asleep until 3:37am when He obviously became hungry. Helo ate and was back in bed asleep at 3:52am. Then Helo slept until 8:55am!
So Helo is permanently in His own room now... Love You son!

Helo and Mommy right before bed time!

This is Helo the first morning He woke up in His own room!
He was SO Happy!

WE are glad He enjoyed sleeping in His own bed.

This is the second morning Helo woke up in His own bed!
I found Him playing with His stuffed dolphin.
He scooted all the way up from the white sheet protector!
Mommy and Daddy learned that we now have to take
ALL the stuffed animals and pillows out (that were no issue before).

This is a milestone we will Never forget!
We Love you Helo,
You just make a lot of little noises when you sleep.
