Camden and I had a moment tonight. Over the course of the last 3 months we have had many moments, and I know we will share many more, but I truly hope that I never forget the one we shared tonight. He had a hard time falling asleep this evening for his last nap of the day. I knew he was exhausted because he had been up for awhile, and I have learned that he really only cries for two reasons, he's hungry or he's tired. I had put him in his pack and play for a nap, and he just wouldn't go to sleep. I usually try to leave him for a few minutes to let him fall asleep on his own, but tonight he just wouldn't do it! I decided to pick him up and just hold him and see if I could calm him down. As soon as I picked him up, he stopped crying and just stared at me. We literally just started at each other for a few minutes, and it really made me realize that he wasn't just a baby but a little person. Babies are truly miracles, and I didn't realize how much so until I experienced all of this. Camden is becoming so much more aware and is beginning to look more and more like a baby instead of just an infant or newborn.
So, this little moment we shared may seem like nothing but having my baby stare at me and smile was a memory that I hope to never forget.
