Day #198

Where did Sawyer go????

We had a really good night with Sawyer last night.  He only woke up once to eat!!  I laid him in the bed next to us, like we usually do after 3 a.m.

I woke up at 7 a.m. in full panic because Sawyer wasn't in his usual spot next to me.  Usually when I open my eyes he is the first thing I see.  I sat up and looked around and I found him spooning Russ's head!  Russ didn't put him there.  I guess he climbed up there in the night.

I thought that this was the sweetest thing I have ever seen.

At one point Russ turned his head to the side and then Sawyer grabbed his ear and just hung onto it for a bit.

Some people get all bent out of shape about the whole co sleeping thing.

We didn't do co sleeping with my other 2 children, and we tried to not do it with Sawyer.

Sawyer still hasn't slept in his own room, except for a hand full of naps.

I really believe that different children have different needs.

Sawyer happens to be a little extra needy, especially at night.

Maybe it's because he's the third child and during the day he doesn't get full attention from me because I have two other kids to take care of.  At night he gets us all to his self!

They only are babies for such a short time.  I realize this more now then when I had my first two kids.

We get in such a rush for them to do "stuff" ahead of schedule that we forget to treasure the moment of them just being babies.

Before I know it, he will be grown and I will miss the moments of having my own baby to hold, rock and feed.  I'm trying to hold onto every last ounce of his baby hood.
