As you've seen from previous posts Caleb has not been a cuddler for quite some time. He likes to either be sitting up or standing or jumping...anything but laying down, except when he's sleeping of course. Well today I could tell he was tired so I brought him in his room for a nap. Before laying him in his crib, I sat with him in the glider and rocked him for a bit while I sang a couple of his favorite songs. I actually started getting sleepy so I stopped singing but kept rocking. After a few minutes I opened my eyes and looked down to see a sweet, peaceful sleeping baby in my lap. I thanked God as tears formed in my eyes because I realized how long it had been since he let me hold him like this. You're probably thinking that's crazy because he's not even 7 months old yet but to me that time has already passed by so fast!
I realized I probably had other things that "needed" to be done around the house but I decided to soak up every minute of cuddling with my sweet little boy because that's the most productive thing I could have been doing at that very moment. Him sleeping in my arms for over an hour was simply priceless. I LOVE the joys of being a mom!! I wish I had a picture to capture the moment...these pictures will have to do. :)
