Maybe I'm a decent mom on occasion

Me and my handsome balding boy.

I had a really good night with Simon while Daddy was at work.  We turned off the tv and got on the floor and played.  We didn't run errands.  We just played.  He took a ton of steps and I'd almost call him a walker.  But not quite, in as much as he is still crawling and falling down a fair bit.  But it was awesome to see.  Then we had dinner.  I actually "cooked".  We had mac & cheese.  He actually ate more fruit and veggies than mac & cheese.  He was eating lettuce.  LETTUCE, I tell you!  And carrots!  And grapes!  And red cabbage!  It was amazing.  We read several books.  I gave him a bath.  He sort of let me brush his teeth.  I rocked him and nuzzled the back of his neck like I enjoy doing so much. 

Then I had to put him in bed.  Since we got home from the hospital he's had a rough time getting to sleep.  He used to be fine going down and would play or amuse himself until he fell asleep.  Now, however, he screams as if he's pleading with every fiber of his being for me to stay.  He stands in his crib and hugs the tar out of me.  It kind of breaks my heart.  Tonight he was asleep before I could get out of his room and sit down at the computer though.  Sometimes I just wish I could snuggle him all night.  He's still my baby.
