Cool dude!

Co-sleeping

He falls asleep in my arms sometime during the evening, when I need to get ready for bed I lay him on the couch with a pillow next to him and do what I need to do. When I'm ready for bed I take him back to the bed and lay him on a pillow from the waist up (he doesn't roll so he never moves from where I lay him down) then I lay next to him. He wakes up to nurse two or three times at night but never really wakes, I feed him and we go back to sleep.

Love

I often think about the world for babies. I figure the first word Adam learned was his name. I think the first love he knew was the love I have for him. It's such a simple, beautiful thing, loving your baby. I am so glad I've breastfed all my children and so thankful I've been able to stay home with them. This was my dream, to have children, to be a mom, and it's more wonderful than I ever could have imagined.

Nursing to sleep. June 19

Sweetie

I love the way he crosses that leg when he's nursing. Here he had just drifted off to sleep.

Going to sleep at the breast. Nine months old.
