WOW! Time really does fly. Everyone told me when Cora was very young that she would grow and change so quickly and to cherish every moment. I have really tried to cherish every moment (though there have been some moments I wished would pass quickly!) but no matter how much you drink in the joy of the moment, it is still just that - a moment. Then it is gone!
So I'm a little sentimental tonight. Cora still frequently falls asleep while nursing before bedtime. I know it's not highly looked upon by some people but I've come to enjoy it and not worry about it having adverse affects. She falls asleep on her own for naps and when she wakes up in the middle of the night. She also has many nights where so goes to bed awake and falls asleep quickly and easily. So I don't let myself worry about nursing her to sleep causing sleep problems.
Tonight she fell asleep nursing and I just held her for a while, drinking in the sound and rhythm of her breathing, her smell, the peaceful look on her face, the softness of her relaxed cheeks and the warmth of her little body. It is such a precious time. I often enjoy a few minutes of her sleeping like this, knowing that she won't always do this. But tonight I realized that the end is drawing near as she will probably start weaning in the next few months. So I will drink it in all the more.
Oh, yeah. She now has 6 teeth! Two more cut through this morning.
6 teeth? Oh my goodness! She must be eating all kinds of fun foods! And watching her start to move around is so adorable.
ReplyDeleteIt's true, it goes by so quickly, but that's what makes it so sweet. She's a beautiful girl, and every stage is going to be a delight :)
How precious. Can't wait for her to fall asleep in my arms. Thanks for the pictures in your last blog. She is adorable. Enjoy, Enjoy, enjoy.
