Our eldest isn't much better. He likes to get up and run about in the middle of the night. I've not had a decent nights sleep in 3 years now. It gets to you sometimes but in general you just learn to cope.
PS. don't fall into the white noise trap. It back fires when the kids are a bit older and you don't want them sleeping so they will sleep at night. You can't do any car journeys or they will go into a deep sleep and keeping them awake is impossible.

This is turning into a parenting thread but jeez, that's no fun. I feel your pain. We've got a 5yo, 2yo and 6 week old and it's not as bad as that! And you did the right thing turning off the monitor. You know as well as I do that even at that age they're just trying to get a response and before you know it you've started a bad routine.
