and it's funny

that before I had miss Emily I thought attachment parenting was BS.
Now that she's here some of it I just do because it seems like the way to do things...and the way SHE wants things done. We have a bedside co sleeper and she slept in the bed for the first month or so. I hold her all the time --leaving her to cry seems wrong. I can't be as extreme as some, but some of it makes sense.

Attachment Parenting is however you make it. However your family is comfortable, and you're a damn fine mommy! (fine meant in two ways. That last photo of you was simply gorgeous!)

what is extreme attachment parenting?
I practice ap, and am just curious as to what you consider extreme?(not out to argue, just being nosy)

I think it's good that you are doing what YOU think is right and comfortable for you and your child.

My 2 year old daughter slept in the same room as me and my husband her 1st year alongside us in either her bassinet or crib, although there are the nights when she just wouldn't go to bed and we would let her sleep in our bed. Since we moved she still hasn't adjusted to having her own room, but the majority of the week (about 4 of the 7 days) she'll sleep by herself in there.

Yeah, it seems so simple now to understand that if she is crying it's for a reason, simple & finite! Well, not always so simple or finite, but the cry it out thing just doesn't fit. :)
