Time changes everything!

The clock is ticking and this little man is growing by the second. Not quick enough for his daddy and me though. William has truly been such a beautiful and wonderful baby but his sleep habits and crying are enough to make us go crazy!!!!! In fact we have gone crazy many a night. Sleep deprivation is one of the worst plagues of early parenthood and it has been ruling our household for 5 long months. I know everyone will say, "oh but it will be gone so soon" "enjoy those early years" "treasure that time" and all sorts of other well meant phrases...but time could not go faster! When you have not had a straight night of sleep in 5 months you are ready for your sweet little angel baby to grow up a bit. I know every phase of his life (and all our children) will have its challenges, but this early stage is one of the most time consuming, draining and absolute hardest things I've ever done in my life!

Besides the fact that William is the most exhausting creature on the planet right now here are some things I absolutely love about this boy of mine:

- his smile is always ready and it is perfect! Really perfect! It melts my heart!

- he loves to blow his lips together tons

- looking in his new mirror toy is a favorite place to chat away with his new friend ;)

- he's mastered rolling

- loves loves to kick his legs

- has the most adorable and handsome eyes

- can talk super loud and for quite some time

- loves watching his mobile and sister

- follows his daddy everywhere with his eyes

- can be stiff as a board and is super duper strong

- sits up in his bumbo seat

- loves to snuggle (love this most of the time, except for when it's every two hours at night, like right now)

- is an excellent eater

- loves to chat and look back and forth between mom and dad at night

- takes nursing, a binki and and bottle (thankfully)

- has the cutest little voice that loves to make noise

- enjoys grabbing all sorts of things and chewing on even more!

William is an amazing little boy and I can't wait to see what is in store for him in his life! His nursery theme is "Be brave little one" and I think he truly is. He is my little brave boy. I love you to the moon and back William and hope you will know that all your life. You are a treasure!
