When exactly did those little arms get so long? Such a novice-mother move my part, I should know better by now…

He is soooo cute! I’m so glad to hear that you are both sleeping! I’m sure Jeff is thrilled!;)
Adorable. :)
Thank goodness for sleep and an easy transition for you. Congrats!
You know…I went through the same thing with my 2nd daughter. At 11 months old, I was getting less sleep than when she was a newborn.
Then we moved her to her crib, successfully and very easily…and then I got pregnant. Oops! Little too much celebrating.
And now that little oops is 1 month old and sleeping with us. I’ve learned my lesson, though! :) Vasectomy before celebration once we have our bed back!
I love it!
Congrats on the sleep thing! We lost all we gained with A when she got her first cold a month ago… Now we are awake every three hours again. I long for an uninterrupted night of sleep!
Priceless! We have that same bowl and I’ve seen that outcome TOO many times. LOL!
Congrats on getting your bed back. My youngest wanted out very early on and she’s slept through the night (as a result) since about 3 months of age. Go figure. We won’t discuss how long my OLDER daughter slept with us. :-)
Oh that’s such a good feeling isn’t it! Good for you!
He wants to be a big boy, like Ben. I just can’t wait to see the two boys have sleepovers in the bunk beds. That will be too cute – with forts and fights.
He is to cute! Hope you can keep him in his crib. My two year old still sleeps with me. Much Love
Cute!
Glad to hear you’re getting some sleep! And no one can blame you for still cuddling at naptime… how can you resist that cuteness?
Thanks for the birthday wishes, sista! And hang onto that nap cuddle as long as you can!!!!!
That’s great about the sleeping… I wish Dottie would cuddle up for a nap…
Oh so cute. Congrats on the sleeping in the crib thing. That’s HUGE.
I found you through The Looking Glass’ blog and what a find. I remember those days so well (amazing how they can turn like a clock’s hands while they sleep. Congrats on getting your son into his crib, it’s SO worth it, as you know, but not an easy task (definite pulls on our heartstrings). Those years are long gone for me as mine youngest turns thirteen today but they remain forever precious in my heart. All the best ~ Sharon
those are great pictures!
isn’t sleep a great thing?

Oh yay! I’m so happy it worked out well :)
I was JUST talking about cuddling w/babies this morning. I too reuse, to give up the early morning 5am cuddles.
Cause. I know she will get so big so fast. And. I love to cuddle.
I love that chair, we have ours and use it religiously! Too cute, it’s amazing what those little arms can get… like they have go go gadget arms, or teleka…magic powers…
Ah, on a different note. I will do as promised by me last week. You are my Friday Featured Blog. You might get some new traffic… thanks!
What a cutie! I love those gorgeous big dark eyes.
Not only do their arms get longer, they get quicker too:-)
What a cutie!!! TFS
Such a cutie patootie..
Num num num good stuff.
I could never get to sleep with my kids even in the same room with me! But that is sweet that you love to cuddle him so much…my kids weren’t cuddlers with me :(
Very cute pictures! :)
What a sweet and long-armed little cutie.
Playing along with Carrie.
Is it okay to post something totally unrelated to kids? I don’t know if any of you are Adam Lambert fans but I just saw some recent photos of him from his tour in Japan and whoa, Adam! Maybe you’re bringing the maternal out in me,but someone needs to sit you down and give you a talk. Enough with the glitter and glam! As an Aquarian you’re a leader, not a follower. You don’t need to imitate i.e., Bowie or Gaga. Rather as a true Aquarian you need to be original and true to yourself. Perhaps it’s your Moom in Aries which is adversely affecting your judgment………
