Rock-a- Bye Baby

The best part of my day has got to be rocking Emelyn to sleep at night. This week is a little different cause I am weaning her off her night time bottle and she will be completely weaned. So she drinks out of her sippie cup and I caress her hair while she stares up at me with her innocent blue sometimes brown eyes. I have to say that it is pure bliss. Her room is only lite by her lamp and I turn on soft music for her to go to sleep to. Sometimes I even fall asleep myself. Not very often. I try to just get her relaxed and not completely asleep because I feel it is better to lay her down awake so she can learn to soothe herself. When she was around 6 months old she would reach up and touch my face while I fed her. But just as quick as she started to do that, she stopped. Times like these I treasure. After having Trevor I see how quick it goes by. One day you could be rocking your baby to sleep and the next they are jumping out of your car for their first day of kindergarten. It all goes by so fast. So the tiny moments that I can get with Eme just the two of us, I really try to just soak in cause one day my baby wont be a little baby anymore. :(
