Seperation Anxiety

So... we decided it was time.

Big Boy Ben slept in his crib the whole night through for the first time last Saturday. In honor of his triumph, we dressed him in this cute little outfit our friend Erin got us the next day. Boy did he earn that... except for he SLEPT an all nighter. :)

(Look at those juicy cheeks!)

I didn't think I'd have separation anxiety but I did. I missed having the little tyke next to me. When I have him in the bassinet I keep him right close to the bed so I can just sit up and help him out if he needs something. He did so good though, he really is an awesome sleeper. We had him sleep in there again last night... I know it was a while from the last time! A little at a time though okay? Not for him, but for me! ha, ha!

Here are just some cute pictures of him from the past little while. He's getting so big and changing so much. I love it. I look at him everyday and think "you'll never be this small again!"

1. In the first picture he sometimes makes this face when he's not sure if he wants to cry, but I think it's his sneaky way of getting mommy or someone to hold him!
2. he was out in the second picture, such a sleepy bear. I loved how his arms were positioned.
3. I love his hands. They are small and cute.
4. I was trying to feed and burp him and he was TOTALLY asleep, his head was flopping everywhere and he was all hunched over. So cute.
5. Sleeping so soundly in his crib.
6. Showing off his GT pants Jennifer bought him before he was born. I can't wait for her to see the pict in Mongolia!
