Maddies Serenade

This morning I awoke at 1:03 in the morning to my daughter serenading me with coos and babbles from her crib.

It was sweet. I really should have went in and turned her over and given her her paci so that she didn't fully wake up, but I didn't. I sat and listened and enjoyed every 8 minutes of it. Now, if DJ or the dog had woken me up at 1:00 in the morning for any reason, I would have been cursing, and tossing and turning with a huff and a puff. But, no, instead I was cracking up laughing. It was soooo funny. She started out with her happy coos. Got really loud, did some of her sad little coos, and eventually got fussy. Sure enough, she was pretty awake by the time I went in there. Eventually I just pulled her out of the crib and took her to bed with me :) I am just missing her soo much being away from her all day. So, Dr. Sears would be applauding me, and the Babywise Dr, would be shaking his head at me. But I don't care. I cuddled with her and she smiled at me and I got to fall asleep smelling her sweet little baby breath, and life is just wonderful!!

*mush, mush*

Surfed in, don't remember from where. . . but what you posted reminded me of how much I just *treasured* when my little ones woke in the middle of the night. The house was quiet, peaceful. The moon would shine it. It was a magical time, just baby and me. Especially once I had several children--the bustle of the day so easily overpowers the moments of just pure enjoyment of the baby. Treasure these memories. . .
