Brigham is now sleeping in his crib with no problems at all! The secret to getting him to sleep was to let him sleep on his belly. Otherwise, he is up and crying within 10 minutes of being laid down and crying it out didn't work. I let him go 30 minutes and just couldn't take it any longer. Now we have a well rested, peaceful, happy baby.

He also received his first set of vaccines. We are doing a selective delayed vaccine schedule so instead of receiving 4 sets of vaccines he only received 2 (the DTap and rotavirus). On this schedule he will receive shots each month instead of every few months. We don't want to get the Hepatitis b vaccine or the chicken pox vaccine at all and we want to wait until 2011 when the MMR vaccine will be available in separate vaccines and not just the one vaccine as it is done now.
As for today's vaccines, Briggs did ok. The first was an oral vaccine so he was smiling and cooing the whole time for that one. The 2nd vaccine was a shot that he received in his thigh. The smiling and cooing stopped and he just screamed. It was pitiful but luckily he stopped when I picked him up and no tears were shed during the incident.
This is what he is doing at this exact moment:

I'm glad to hear that you are doing what is best for your family (and in my opinion everyone) as far as vaccinations go.
With the new baby we will be doing the delayed selective too. Some of the vaccinations just don't make uch sense to me. I actually talked to the doctor today about it, be freaked out mildly over that and the fact that she'll be born at home.
