Sweet Moments

You woke up last night around 10:15pm - just as we were getting ready to head to bed, which isn't normal for you.  Daddy went in to snuggle you, put you back down and just a few mins later you were up again, so it was my turn.  I tried getting some Orajel in your mouth, figuring it must be teeth the way you were ferociously sucking on your fingers (more than normal) and grunting - though you refused to open your mouth for me.  It's challenging enough to try to tell how much came out of the tube while in the dark, then you were refusing it - stinker.  In between our back and forth attempts to comfort you, you would fall back asleep on me and ever so gently stroke my hair or collar bone.  It's the sweet moments like this that make all of the more challenging moments worth it.  The feeling of your little fingers and the warmth of your breathe just fills my heart so much, just want you to know how much I love you buddy!
