Please Help!

Please help!! Carter is almost 9 months old and still not sleeping through the night. I am so tired! Its now affecting our whole family. Zach isn't sleeping, Taylor isn't sleeping. We have tried it all...feeding him, feeding him more, feeding him less, burping him, letting him sleep in our room, letting him cry it out, holding him, Tylenol, Motrin, Gas drops, etc. If we hold him he will eventually fall asleep and then the second we lay him down he wakes up and cries. Sometimes he wants to play and other times he just cries. He was waking only once a night and now it is several times a night. Our Dr told us it could be seperation anxiety and to let him cry it out. But after an hour of crying it out he is so pissed and upset he just keeps crying and I feel horrible. There have been a few nights where we have let him cry for 2 hours and he still won't fall asleep! I am not a cry it out type person either so that is very hard for me to do. I don't know what else to do but its getting to the point where I am finding myself getting mad at him. I don't want to be like that---but I need sleep! Any suggestions out there???!!!

Sincerely tired and hopeless

1st Haircut

Carter got his 1st haircut today!! Funny with Taylor I never cut her hair until she turned 2 years old. Poor Carter's hair was growing over his ears and I had to keep tucking it behind his ears. So finally today I got out the scissors. You can't tell too much but it looks good. Here is a before, during, and after picture.

Carter started crawling last week really well. He has been doing more scooting and a jump like motion on his knees--sort of like a frog. But last week he took off. He is all over the place now and into everything! Taylor is always letting me know what he is into if he isn't suppose to be. He laughs when he crawls fast, I think he is conspiring against me already!!

Winter & Christmas Pictures Part 1

Here are 3 parts of pictures of the kids. Some xmas and others just fun. Some of Taylor playing in the snow, which she loves but eats more than plays. And Carter who discovered Taylor's cheetos one day and ate half her bowl. He really liked them. We had a great xmas and of course the kids were spoiled!
