Holy Cow, I'm the worst at blogging. The Holidays have been so fantastic and fun with Mr Winn and I haven't even thought twice about blogging about any of it. Winn had a good Christmas, although he liked the wrapping paper and tissue paper more than any of the things he got. It makes me excited for next year when he will understand it all a little more. It's been a good time of year to say the least.
Ya know, Winn has already taught me so much about life. He makes me want to be better in every aspect of who I am. Babies are just pure heaven. His innocence and sweet spirit are priceless. It makes me super scared for him to ever grow up in this nasty world.
We decided to do some sleep training with him. Yikes. He is so darn stubborn that instead of it taking about 3 or 4 nights to catch on, it took like 2 weeks. He finally got to the point of sleeping 7-8 hours then needing to eat and going back to bed for 3-4. IN HIS CRIB PEOPLE! This is the greatest part of all. Finally. It makes me so much more enjoyable to be around now that he sleeps in his own room and sleeps pretty good. The past week or so has been rough, because he's been teething. Or at least that's what I'm guessing. I can tell he's just miserable and it is the saddest! He grabs whatever he can and just bites down realllllly hard on it. We took him to St George for the first road trip (he did AWESOME in the car, surprise surprise!) and he had a hard time adjusting to sleeping in a pack and play and on top of the changes he was teething. So we didn't sleep much on vacation and he is still pretty miserable. Teething sucks.
He is now 6 months old and is sitting and rolling over and eating tons of food and being all grown up. It's crazy how fast time flies and how fast our babies grow. The other night, when Winn was having a rough night and couldn't sleep, Colt brought him into bed with us, and he just tickled Winn's head until he was able to fall asleep. Of course we didn't end up sleeping well all night, but Winn did. And it took a long time for Colt to get him to sleep. I told Colt I was sorry he was so tired the next day, and he gave me the best reply. He said--He's only going to let me cuddle him in bed for so long. One day I won't be able to bring him into bed and tickle his face until he falls asleep. I'm glad to do it.
Ahh. That's why I married this man. It's true! Instead of focusing on all the sleep I lost or he lost or how tired we are, we should be grateful for the cuddle time we get with our babe.
Life is good guys. I feel so lucky. I know I'm lucky. I wish I could write everything great down that Winn does, because every day he does so many great memorable things. But I just take a lot of pictures instead.
