Next would be Lawson. (Yes, when my kids choose to wake up in the middle of the night, they only do it together, one after another.) Around 1:30, after Elijah was sound asleep, Lawson woke me up to an awful belly cry, the one that screams "I don't feel good or I have soaked myself". It was the "I don't feel good". She had a fever, poor gal. So I went to work fixing her up, Tylenol, ice water, and some TLC. She seemed to be doing better and not so good for me, she wanted to play. We went through this cycle again and again until around 3:30am. I finally brought her to bed with us. With Lawson, I don't get as much hands-on love in return as I do with Eli (of course that is just the age, and I am fine with that). Lawson has a distinct scent too. When she wakes up she smells of heat and some sort of puppy breath :) I love it, she is my little puppy. I love the way she stands up in her crib when she sees me at the door, and falls over from the shakiness of just waking up. I will miss the day when her and her brother are too big for me to hold, and I wont get to feel them tuck their arms under their stomach as they lay on my chest (yes Elijah still does this). So, because I will miss this one day, I will cherish it now, and I still would lose a thousand nights of sleep for that.
Here are some pictures of my beautiful family sleeping (something we are really good at). These pictures are all from my phone so they are not going to look the best, but they are of the highest quality to me :) Enjoy.
Please note dad in the background.
Happy Friday everyone!
