I took this picture on Saturday morning to remember how cute Mason is when he's happy and laughing.
This photo was taken after a 40 minute nap. It took me an hour to get him to calm down enough to even take a nap. That was after retrieving him from the couch where Damen had been with him since 4 am. Damen got up with him because after a day of crying and a night of waking frequently, I was exhausted.
Looking back, I think he was getting his first cold and he was uncomfortable. (Although his symptoms still seem pretty mild. If I weren't sick I wouldn't have known he was.)
So, we've had some pretty sleepless nights this week. Fortunately, Mason still seems to wake up in the morning with a smile on his face regardless of how restless he was the night before.
It's hard to believe that it was just a week ago when I had one of the BEST mornings since Mason was born. Damen and I woke up to the alarm at 8 am! I can't remember the last time we didn't wake up to Mason squawking for us. It was stormy and we snuggled for just a few minutes under the warm covers in our cold room and listened to the rain hit the window. It was heaven. Once Damen got up to shower I heard a little sneeze and a coo coming from Mason's room. I went to look in on him. He was awake and looking around. It was such a peaceful morning!
Don't get me wrong, it had been a pretty typical night otherwise. I had been up to feed him 3 times and once to put his blankets back on because he was cold. But, for a morning we enjoyed waking up without immediately jumping out of bed...and Damen got to sleep past 6:45 am baby duty.
