@Jessica I think we are in the middle of a sleep regression/developmental leap because he's been learning a handful of new words every day but the sleep is beyond his normal terrible haha. I do find that just being in the room and giving him the time to relax him self helps a little with getting to sleep.
My boy is the same. Honestly just leaving him be. I used to try to put the blanket back on him, give him his pacifier. Anything that I could do to make him more comfortable just irritated him more. I found if I leave a really Low light lamp on in his room he tends to sleep a a little better
