Stick to it...

Well I tried the "cry it out" method lastnight. Jason is on the road, so I figured lastnight was the best time to start. He doesn't handle Kelson crying & screaming very well. Well I got her all fed and changed and laid her down around 10:15. I patted her had, kissed her, and said goodnight Kelson, be a big girl and go to bed. Well that didn't last long. Within seconds she was screaming and crying again. I waited 5 minutes to go back in there. So I returned and did the same process- kisses, patting, and pacifier back into the mouth. Reassured her that mommy was in the next room and that I loved her. I walked back out and within a minute again she was screaming/crying. This time I grabbed my "week by week" book to make sure that I was doing the right things and in fact I was. So I went back in (after 5 more min)and she calmed down immediatly and let out a big SIGH and I could tell she was about asleep. That last attempt I ALMOST picked her up- she was crying so hard and reaching for me (I teared up), but knew it would ruin it. So I rubbed her hand and she started drifting to sleep. I walked out and IT WAS SILENT. She had fallen to sleep, so it took about 3 times of reassuring her I wasn't gone and around 30 min, but we had successfully put her to sleep awake. Tonight well try again. I'll let ya know how it goes.
