Rockaby Baby

Back in March, I was out with my mom one night and left Ben home with our kids. When we got home, Ben was upstairs checking on the sleeping boys, I run upstairs to help since it's so cute to see little ones asleep...it's one of the best times of my day. We checked in on Max and he was snuggled up nicely and then we opened Seth door to find an empty crib...WHAT!?!?

As we searched the dark room for our baby, we found him here:
For the next three nights he continued with this process of being put in his crib by one us and then after a few minutes climbing out of his crib and rocking himself to sleep. After that he stopped climbing out of his crib, almost like it was just a phase and forgot how to do this little trick. About two weeks ago it started up again, and I don't think he will ever stop. He never cries, and he doesn't bang at his door, he just snuggles up and rocks to sleep. I've rocked both of my boys while they were little, sometimes to sleep and sometimes until they were just relaxed...so that's probably why he finds comfort in our well used glider. It's so fun to check on him after he's fallen to sleep because he's always in a different position. After I take his picture, I gently pick up my big baby and put him in his crib.

Ok that is adorable. I too love to check on my boys when they are sleeping. They are just so innocent when they are asleep :)!!!

That is the cutest thing I have heard! It's so sweet that he just needed a little comfort to fall asleep...what a cutie. Can't wait to meet him!

That is just to precious! I love a rocking chair too. They bring fond memeories and sweet feelings. Rocking a baby is one of my favorite things to do!
Love you and yours!

Sunshine and smiles.

Blake use to do the same thing but I would find him upside down and in all kinds of crazy positions. We finally had to take the side off the bed so that he could get himeslef back in. Kids do the funniest things!

I love bed time too. Its my favorite time of the day as well! It makes all you put up with during the day worth it to see their sweet sleeping faces!

By the way...what are you doing blogging...get outside and enjoy this BEAUTIFUL weather we have waited so LONG for!!

That is too cute. Noah used to climb out of his crib ALL the time and at an early age. I finally just kept the side lowered because I felt that the chance of him getting hurt was less. They do the cutest things. Gotta love that age!
