I love moments like this. Jackson has drifted off to sleep and I know I should go put him in bed but I am distracted by his long wispy eye-lashes. And those soft cheeks.
Then, two seconds later...
His little eyes pop open and he grins at me. And I know I missed my window of opportunity and now he will be awake for awhile.
He lays quietly for just a second before he starts batting at my phone determined to put it in his mouth.
He snuggles his face in my arm and he smells like baby shampoo mixed with that oh-so-lovely acrid yet slightly sweet smell of baby spit-up.
I am completely enjoying this baby but I think I have reached that point where it is time for me to choose bedtime instead of being held captive by the whims of an infant.
He has been sleeping through the night for about three months so I haven't really worried about putting him down awake--Rustin or I can usually just hold him until he's asleep without too much trouble. But, with school starting on Tuesday I think it's time for a more predictable schedule for all of us.
We'll see how it goes.
