My 6 m/o is very much a high needs baby for lack of other words. He rarely sleeps even just beside me, he has to be at least cradled in one arm or else he screams and screams like he's being hurt. But today, today he has fallen asleep in his own bed with very minimal crying, more just the usual fussy whine! It gives me hope that he won't forever need to sleep right on me. It also makes me a bit sad to really realize that he's growing and one day won't need Mommy as much, but for now, I won't think about that. I'll let him sleep on his own and use this time to get some things done that need doing.
