This pic was a rare moment in a Valentine's Day filled with fussiness and clinginess. I muddled through and it took all day but I was able to cook a nice dinner for hubby and I. However, as I write this it's almost 4am and this kid has just settled down after waking up screaming 1.5hrs ago. All of a sudden I can't sit and hold him! He would only stop crying if I was holding him and walking! Like wth kid, I thought we had a routine, a calming method and suddenly...gone!😵 Idk if it's a leap or a growth spurt, but I feel like if it is, I'm NEVER prepared for them to happen no matter how much I TRY to mentally prepare!

I just look at the happy pictures and know we will get through eventually to the next smiley day....no matter how exhausting. 😳♥️
