Last week we started implementing a bedtime routine. Declan's bedtime routine goes like this:
He eats, hangs out on his activity mat and then has a bath. Usually his bath is less than a minute long. This is the amount of time it takes before he gets unhappy so Mom and Dad have to be super fast with the washcloth and soap.
Then we move our wet baby to the bed and pray he doesn't pee. He gets dried down and lotioned up. Then we put on a clean outfit. 
Lastly he is rocked and sung to and then put in his bassinet around 10:30pm.
Sometimes we have success other times we put him down and he cries until it's time to eat again. We know that this routine will eventually pay off but in the meantime we will just savor the chaotic sweetness.
