at 9 Months I can finally announce Kaylee is sleeping in her crib! (happy dance) Well it has only been 5 nights but it's better each night. We (ok I) must learn to not run to her each time she cries or want to be held. On the first night we put her in the crib, she cried on and off for a good hour and then finally stopped.
