My days are filled with lots of happy times; but this is the sweetest...
every night at 7:00...
I turn off the lights in Remi's room, crack the door, and snuggle Remi to my chest as he drifts off to sleep.
I clear my head of everything...dishes in the sink, toys that need to be picked up and orders that need to be filled. It's not very often that Remi is this still in my arms, so I just savor this tiny fragment of time that will end way too soon.
I can hear the hum of the fan, the sound of his ocean waves cd in the background and the sweet, sweet breathing of my little man.
Once he is fast asleep, I kiss him goodnight and gently lay him in his crib and thank God the unconditional love I have for this little boy.
I know he won't be a baby forever and won't want to be snuggled to sleep forever; I think this is why I look forward to this time every single day. Knowing that in my arms he feels safe, loved and I am the last person he sees before he closes his tired eyes feels amazing.
Sometimes I pray and sometimes I sing to him, but most of the time I just hold my baby and smile because it doesn't get any better than this...

Aww! I love that time with Jude, too. It's the only time he's not moving while in my arms. :)
Yes, I hear you! So sweet. Sometimes I have to share that rocking time with Todd though, but I go listen on the monitor to hear him singing to her, makes me tear up just typing it!
