He Smiled At Me

Tristan is about 6 1/2 weeks old today. Last night he did amazingly well. I gave him a bath at around 11:30, massaged him with Sleepy Time Lotion and nursed him. I had hoped he'd fall asleep shortly after I fed him, but he took a little longer to fall asleep than I had hoped. He finally went into his basinett around 1 am, which is awesome compared to drifting off around 3 AM, which is what he normally does. We too went to sleep. I thought for sure he would wake up around 3 or 4 AM to eat, or around 6, but he slept till a 7 AM!!! I couldn't believe, or maybe I did wake up with him, but I was so tired that I don't remember, but I am pretty sure he slept, I slept and Chris slept. IT WAS WONDERFUL! An answered prayer for sure. I think God knows when we just really need to sleep. Thank you God.

So, this morning after I fed him, he wasn't at all ready to just drift back into dreamland,so Chris took him into the guest room. He takes him in there to give me silence so I can sleep. It is impossible to sleep when he makes a noise every other second. I slept and they hung out. Of course later this morning, Chris told me that he fell back a sleep around 8:30 AM and slept till around 11 AM. Anyways, back to the point of this story. Chris brought him in our room (I was already up-showered and ready to feed him)it was about 12 PM. He was changing his diaper-and of course Tristan was crying because he was being changed and very hungry I'm sure. I walked over to him, looked at him and smiled and guess what...HE SMILED SO BIG!!! I know he recognized me, I just know it! He smiled so big and kept smiling. It was a moment I will never forget, he was so sweet, so happy. I love this baby boy.
