Mommy's in real trouble.

Simon when he was just a baby.  His newborn onsie was BIG on him!
Tonight I was feeding Simon and he was more awake than I cared for at 9:00 at night.  I'd read him Corduroy.  I also had Goodnight Moon, but was saving that for when he was really falling asleep.  I decided I should sing to him.  I started thinking about what I could sing and immediately lost it for a few seconds.  Memories came flooding back of when he was just a little baby and I had a time getting him to sleep.  I'd rock and sing and rock and sing.  Now we've got the routine down pretty good.  He gets a bath which cures whatever ails him, then swaddled, then one last bottle, then off to bed.  He's usually good from about 9:00 - 5:00.  He sleeps like a champ. 

So, if I'm this weepy and nostalgic for the days when he was tiny and he's only 11 weeks old now, how bad is it going to be in a year, in 10 years, in 20?  Yep, I'm really in for it.
