sleeping baby

It's after 7:00 and Colin is still in bed.  Actually this will be the first morning that he has woken up in his own crib.  We have spent the last 7 months sleeping together.  Partly because he woke up to nurse so often and it was easier to have him right there, and partly because I loved having him right there.  So, this morning I miss them.  Of course I did see him twice in the middle of night (but TWICE).  Better than those nights 1-2 months ago where he woke up every 45 minutes-2 hours.  Yes, its been an exhausting 7 months.  And I think we are finally on the path to mom sleeping through the night again.

I remember laying in bed cuddling next to him when he was a couple days old and thinking, its going to sad to have him one day sleep through the night.  If I didn't need sleep, I would hold him all night.  Still would.  7 months later.  I love watching him grow up.  I just want to hold onto the babyness though.  Despite the demands, our time with Colin as a baby will always be too short for this mom.  Love this 7 month, smily, chubby, can't quite crawl, funny face eater, face grabber, gotta touch everything, age!

love smiles



The favorite parts of my day are when these two boys are smiling at the same time!
