I need to come up with some new sleeping plans for the Patrick.
At three months old, I was so proud. Why Yes, my baby is sleeping through the night....
But slowly....slowly....old habits creep back up.
First it's just once a night.
Then twice.
Last night he woke up about EVERY HOUR AND A HALF.
Tons of ideas. Teething? Still punky from shots? Growing spurt? Snoring parents? Noisy puppies?
Around three in the morning, Kevin was done. Patrick had eaten, but fussed every time we put him back in the bassinet.
"He's going in the crib."
Where he slept until I woke him up to eat at 6am.
I'm not sure I'm ready for my baby to be out of our room. But he might be.

Mattias and Hailey went to the crib in their room at the age of 3 months.
It's not that you don't love Patrick, but everyone is happier if they get good chunks of sleep, and besides this is why you have the babymonitor ... if he wakes up wailing, the babymonitor will alert you. Hopefully (dads have a tendency to ignore this noise).
Besides there will still be plenty of times where he will be giant fuzzball and the only place he will sleep is with you in the bed.
Try the crib, see what happens, otherwise you'll try something else (kick the puppies out, stop snoring...)
You go Girl! Thayer has been in his crib since 2 months b/c daddy's snoring was keeping him up!
Thanks babe.
Wow Jen this is a tough one that Chenoah and I took some time on. We put Elijah in his own room at 2 months mostly because of what you are experiencing. We started by putting him in there for nap times just to get him used to a different room and then after about a week we tried overnight on the weekends (a time when both of us could afford to loose a bit of sleep) and it worked out great turned out HE was more ready than we were and to top it off he hates it when we try to bring him into our room for cuddle time....go figure...
OH and there really is no right answer... like you were saying he may be ready and you might have to dealwith a bit of detachment issues when he leaves the room but try the nap thing to get yourself used to it as much as him...knowing that he is napping in another room might help ease you into it as well.
