The nursery...my sanctuary...

Maybe that's a bit much, but that's how I feel. Brody's nursery is my absolute favorite place in the house. A lot of people feel the need to have a massive, over the top nursery. To each his own. I love that it's simplistic, classic, clean. Blue walls, white and blue bedding, black furniture. I don't know what it is, but it calms me. Plus, the invention of the glider is the best thing in the entire world. The older Brody gets, the more he fights sleep at night. He used to fall asleep in my arms and go right down. These days, we tend to put him down when he's getting sleepy and he goes to sleep on his own. Tonight, he was whining in his crib so I got him and rocked him. There is just nothing like that sweet, chubby hand on my neck...the other holding his thumb in his mouth. I rocked him just a few extra minutes to soak it all in. I guess every now and then I'm a little overwhelmed with his sheer cuteness. There is nothing like a chubby baby!

If only he would have continued sleeping as he did the past few months. Now...possible teething is waking him, not to mention all his little milestones that make him too excited to sleep. These are my personal thoughts. We are considering the rice cereal this week if he keeps waking up once to eat. He went from sleeping 12 hours to waking around 2...I need him to go back to the endless sleeping!:)
