I put Rayne down for bed tonight (and still in her crib - go us!) and as she fell asleep and cuddled into me I was reminded of how she got her nickname Ladybug. As a newborn we were able to get her to fall asleep on our shoulders, all snuggled up in her blanket. She resembled a ladybug perched up there and it stuck with us.
Tonight I missed that. Especially the middle of the night feedings. Which is weird to say now that I'm thinking about it - who misses not sleeping?! lol But I do. The cuddling in the middle of the night, the extra 30 minutes I had to hold her upright because of her reflux, the way her head seemed to fit just perfectly onto my shoulder as she slept.... She's growing up. I've listened to people say it time and time again over her short 8 1/2 months but it's true. She's getting so big, so fast and it's crazy to think of where we've come from.
I miss our midnight rock-and-walks, but maybe she does too. :)
