Sleepy Baby

This pregnancy has been a lot harder than I remember the last one being. It could be because I have a baby already that needs constant attention. It could also be that we are trying to remodel our house as cheaply as possible, which means we do the work. For whatever reason, my back has been especially painful. So, being the sweet husband that he is, Scott called our massage therepist and made me a surprise appointment for yesterday afternoon. He even arranged a babysitter for Scotty (thanks Grandma!) and I went and had an hour and a half massage... it was HEAVEN! Every woman deserves a good massage (at least one) during each pregnancy, even if it is just to lay on the pregnancy pad they have. WOW~ thanks baby!

After my massage I went to pick Scotty up from Grandma's and ended up staying a little while longer so Scotty could play with his cousins. By the time we left he was so tired he didn't even mind me putting on his hat. The ride home was silent and when I looked back at my sweet little boy, I couldn't help but smile...

Then just a few minutes later, he's out!

The cuteness didn't stop there though. After we got home, he woke up when I was changing him. I laid him in his crib and thought he would go right to sleep - but a few minutes later he was crying. I went in to check on him and he is standing up in his crib looking at the door, just waiting for me to come in. He started laughing when I opened the door (how can you be mad at that?). I laid him back down and left the room. A few minutes later he is crying again, so I go to check on him again and he is, again, standing looking at the door. This time though he doesn't laugh, but just rubs his eyes because he is so tired. It seems that in all of Scotty's excitement to learn how to stand up and walk, he has yet to learn how to sit himself back down again. Of course he can fall, but it's not like he is going to do that on purpose. So he was crying because he wanted to lay down and go to sleep. That was one of those moments that I could not imagine being anything or anywhere else but but a mom at home, putting my sweet little boy to bed.
