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!
