Sleep

No cute pictures with this post. I just wanted to capture what is going on in the Money house in the raw at 6:18am before I get ready for work. Last night was Mason's first night to sleep in his crib for the WHOLE night and I think I actually lost more sleep. I watched the baby monitor like a hawk and when my eyes got tired, I listened like my life depended on it. He has recently started rolling onto his belly, holding his head up well and as you can see from my previous post, doing lots of "talking." All these new developments have led to sleepless nights with all of us waking up to see what all the fuss is about in the co-sleeper. Something had to be done before zombie mommy turned into mean mommy. I pushed for us to get the monitor set up in his crib and suggested to "leave him alone for 3 more minutes" when he wakes up and starts to fuss before we go pick him up. Dave, being the sweet Dad that he is, is ready to go get Mason with the first peep. I have to admit, last night I craved for Mason to fuss so we could go soothe him and maybe even bring him back up to our bedroom for some snuggle time. But, noooooo. That big boy slept all night long and is even still asleep right now! How bittersweet it is to have a baby show their independence and heaven forbid, GROW! Even though I start each new day with a groggy brain and sleepy eyes, I wouldn't change one sleepless minute in this world. I am so blessed!
