My Sweetie!

Okay so I just have to gush about my boy and since John is out of town in Washington DC in training I decided to hop on here to my little piece in blog land. :)  My night has just been made!  Since Cory was born I have always told him I love him and goodnight when putting him to bed and tonight something extra special to a Momma happened.  After I told him I loved him and was about to lay him in his crib he gave me an extra tight hug and said "Love you"!   It was the sweetest thing I have ever heard with his little voice saying it.  I just wanted to hold him and rock him to sleep but I put him snug in his crib and he fell asleep but that was so sweet to hear!  He also calls me Momma or Mommy now....which he has been saying that word for a while now but I love how much he says it now like when he is looking for me (if I am in another room) he will holler out "Mommy"! 

He is just doing so great these days and such a joy to be around.  He is always laughing and smiling and plays so well with his other little friends and he has been sleeping so great too.  I am on cloud 9 with his sleep routine now days.  Last night after I put him down at 8:30pm...he didn't wake up until 9:40 am!  I actually started making noise in the kitchen to try to wake him because we had to be at Lisa's house at 10am!  He has been sleeping later and later every week!  A couple months ago he went from sleeping in until 7 or 7:30 tops to 8am to 8:30 and now 9 to 9:30 or later some mornings.  I think he may start to be like his daddy who can sleep in until 11 or so on the weekends (if I let him that is;)  I am an early bird and can't sleep in past 8am even if I try to.  Some mornings I wish I could sleep in but I am such a morning person that once I wake I think about all the things I could be doing and just end up getting up or I will be laying there wide awake.  Now I am always up before Cory so that is funny to me when about 4 months ago I would have thought that was crazy talk with my not-so-good sleeper.  It has been like night and day and boy I am so happy to be on this end now! 

He is my little sunshine!
