Last Night I witnessed a Miracle...



So here's how my nights usually play out- Connor in bed by 9:30pm, I run around with a few minutes of free time before bed, I go to bed, like clock work Connor is up at 4:00am, I nurse him, then he's up randomly until he's ready for the day around 6:45am. Here's how beautiful last night was--

Connor asleep at 9:15pm. I went to bed around 10. I heard Connor squirming around and starting to squawk around 4:00am. I went to his room to get him before he was into an all out scream when something amazing happened...I opened the door to his room to find silence. I stood there for a few moments waiting to hear him, but nothing! I slowly approached his crib to find him rolled over from his belly to his back and wedged sideways (hamburger ways instead of hotdog ways if you will!). He was sound asleep! It was the first time he has been able to roll over in bed!

I was so excited- I grabbed the video camera, but couldn't figure out the night mode to be able to see him. I grabbed my digital camera, but was afraid the sound and flash would wake him. I should have been enjoying the time myself sleeping, but was so excited about what I had just witnessed that I couldn't go to sleep! So no picture, no video, but a wonderful image I will never forget in my mind : ).

*The picture posted is an oldie from when Connor was teeny blob and immobile. Now you put him to bed on one end of the crib and he wakes up at the opposite end, flipped over, and sideways!

I actually called Connor yesterday and told him he better whip into a nice sleeping schedule before I start staying over. What a compliant child you have :)

All he needed was a little heart to heart with his Auntie to whip him into shape! Can't wait to see you : ) and Connor can't wait to grab your hair, drool on your legs, and suck on your hand!
