I usually don't rock Cade to sleep, I think it is important for him to be able to fall asleep on his own. However last night he was in such a cuddly mood I just couldn't resist. He was practicly falling asleep while I nursed and burped him, so when he was finished I snuggled him tight and wrapped a blanket around us both. I began humming and singing him lulaby songs very softly in his ear. He absolutly loved it, if I paused or stopped he would start doing this sad little whimper until I started again! Talk about melt your heart!
Nursing has been such a blessing to me in many ways. One, being the ability to take off my baby weight really fast :), but more importantly it has been such an amazing time for me to pray over Cade and daily give him back to the Lord. Through my prayers and quite time I have been reminded that Cade is my son but ultimately he is the Lords, Cade was given and entrusted to Tyler and I, so I want to make sure that we take every opportunity to seek the Lord for wisdom and dirrection for every part of Cade's life, the big things like developement, health, salvation, and also the little things like sleep and bowl movements (or in Cade's situation, lack of bowl movements).
These are the moments that will forever be etched in my memory.
Cade absolutly loves being outside, so Friday afternoon I moved his wagon of toys to the front yard. He sat and played while I did some yard work. It lasted about 30 min before he started sneezing, coughing and getting watery eyes. I have heard that babies need to be exposed to something for 1 yr before they can actually be allergic or have allergies but I say not true! Poor Cade has been miserable ever since. He won't stop sneezing and his nose is SO stuffed up and running. I sure hope this isn't how it's going to be everytime we go outside!
