Lately I have been sitting with Charlie in the rocking chair more often. For the first few months of his life I was so determined to keep a schedule and follow guidelines in order to sleep; sleep for him and sleep for me. I do not regret it, for I really believe a schedule and routine was and still is best for us. But I feel his littleness slipping away and I want to hold him longer and see his eyelashes flutter as they close. He's half a year old and I am starting to worry that I am missing all these sweet moments. So I have let some of the rules go and am acquiescing if he would rather fall asleep in my arms than in his crib.
I am so glad he is such a snuggler.
