eyes drooping

tonight john fussed and fussed. tired and hungry was mostly the problem. mike and i have been trying to keep him up longer with the whole time change thing. i have to say my favorite part of the night is giving him his goodnight bottle. he curls up and just watches my face as he eats!! i love it! soon his eyes droop and he is out like a light. sometime i take him to bed right away but tonight was one of those nights i just let him sleep in my arms and cuddled him close!! finally the arm was getting sore and i rose from the couch slowly as not to wake him. stumbled/stepped my way through a living room full of squeaky large and small toys! making it finally to his room i placed him in his bed and remember that not 5 months ago this child made the crib look so big. now i'm wondering how long he can fit in the crib! aahh i love being a mother! now off to bed to read a few pages of a book i've been reading now for about a month which normally would take me two nights! life changes and so do we! thank you lord for this wonderful boy and all the changes in our lives... the good and bad!!

we will bring praise and we will rejoice for He is our victory and He is here!!

This blog post made me cry yesterday. Can't believe how fast John is growing! I just love him to death though. I think I'm still pretty good and being his favorite aunt even though I have my own now. Still makes me heart melt every time he smiles at me. Tyler smiled and me this morning too!!!! Can't believe how fast this time goes by. I know I'm really going to miss it but love seeing him grow and become into the wild terror he will probably be with his big cousin John!
