Cartboo is FINALLY better! Talk about the never ending cold. 2+ weeks. Poor dude. We have gotten into a nasty little habit.... bottle before naps. I think at this point is is going to be harder for me to kick this habit than it will be for Carter. Now that he is go go go I don't get as much snuggle time. And snuggling before naps is some of the best snuggles ever. Just today he looked at me and shook his head. So I shook my head. He smiled, then shook his and had an apprehensive smile waiting for me to shake mine. Back and forth we went and I had a tear rolling down my cheek it was so stinking cute and funny. I could not stop laughing. So much for settling down before his nap. Ehh, who cares?! I cannot. stop. thinking. that in a few short months he won't be drinking bottles anymore and we won't have that excuse to snuggle in the rocking chair. He is growing up entirely too fast. This fast growing up is leading to some "bad" habits. But seriously, I have to cherish each and every single moment like this because before long I won't be able to get him to sit still at all. Ey, ey, ey.
Last night he cried a bit at 2am and normally we'd let him put himself back to sleep (which he does very well) but before I knew it I was half asleep and on my way to his room. My subconscious must be on the same page. The page reads like this "Must. Enjoy. Serious. Baby. Snuggles. As. Much. As. Possible."
I'm just slightly torn up that my tiny little newborn baby is about to turn one next month. When we're at Target and a little kid says "look at the baby!" I smile. He is a baby and I love that all kids point out babies. It is cute and funny and always makes me smile. But after he turns one he'll be a toddler. And I don't think little kids go "hey look at the toddler" Arg. I know one is only a number but my god where did the time go?
Arg, I suppose I have to let him grow up, hu? However, my dude is a lover. He snuggles his bears and blankets and loves to give the best open mouth sloppy baby kisses ever. Sometimes he'll be exploring and look over and see me watching him and he'll smile and crawl over to me and snuggle me or give me a kiss. For real, talk about melt your heart with a blow torch good.
