Tonight and yesterday night we tried to let her go to sleep by her self. I'll be honest it was very hard. But after ten minutes she is already asleep! Talk about a whole lot less stress - now I just cross fingers. I tried to keep the idea of the routine in my head, so that it can be repeated every night - hopefully that will help.
She got two teeth around about four months, so we been on solids since then as well and is not really a sickly baby so I'm hoping it will get easier.
So thank you so much for your insight and help. Its made the last two days a whole lot more peaceful.

Good job kikisian! I know a lot of people dislike the cry-it-out method, but in most cases it works like a charm! I know some kids just get too worked up or whatever, but everyone who I know that's tried it LOVES it!

Another thing I would suggest with this method though, is to NOT feed her to sleep ever! Make sure you're putting her down tired, but still awake! This means nap times too! The book "Baby Wise" that advocates this suggests an sleep, eat, wake cycle! Feed her as soon as she wakes up from her nap or whatever, let her have her wake/play time and the put her to bed tired, but still awake! That way if she wakes up in the middle of the night, she won't feel she needs to eat to get back to sleep!

Anyway, good luck - keep up the good work!
