Cosleeping

I never thought I'd co-sleep with my baby. I never got it why people
did, although I've read arguments about the benefits and honestly like
an ass I scoffed at those that did (because it's a hard habit to
break).

So of course, most nights Taylor sleeps with us at least part of the
night. I never mean for it to happen, but sometimes I'm nursing and
I fall asleep, and just don't have the energy to put him in the crib.
Sometimes he's crying so bad and the only thing that'll keep him calm
is laying on me. And sometimes he just won't go to sleep unless I'm
near. I've created a monster.

And I love every minute of it.

While he's sleeping with us his head rests on my arm and he wiggles in
and snuggles his head into my chest or if he's next to me he's on my
arm in my armpit wiggles into my side as close as he can be. He
wiggles in so so my head and his are resting on each other. Some
nights when he's really upset, he sleeps with a binky and I hear the
sound of sucking all night right in my face. When he sleeps with me
he sleeps for longer stretches of time then when he's in his crib, and
he doesn't seem as restless while he's sleeping. Normally in his crib
he gurgles and grunts, he snores and hiccups, the boy makes sooooo
much noise while he's sound asleep its almost comical. When he's
laying in the bed with us, almost no sounds until he's waking up.

it's adorable. I enjoy every second of it and don't really want him to
stop even though I know I need to start putting him in his crib soon.
