The secret to cry it out is...

...letting your baby cry so hard the first night that he loses his voice and you can't hear him crying on the subsequent nights! But seriously, Ben is very hoarse, but seems to be doing a little better. Last night he woke only 3 times and the night before only about 4 times. He's a little more clingy during the day, I guess because he isn't next to me all night, so we'll see if that continues. Most of the time he's just so sweet, and his smile has gotten so big. He's so lovable!!
