A bittersweet moment

Kai's sleep training has been successful. He still requires a little comforting when you put him down. But, then, he falls asleep and stays asleep until he's hungry.

Last night, I put Kai to bed and comforted him for a couple seconds. I stood over the side of his crib and looked down at my precious baby boy and felt a twinge of saddness. I felt sad that Kai is growing up so quickly and that he no longer needs his mommy to fall asleep. It's just amazing that seven and a half months ago, Jared and I held Kai's tiny little four pound body in our hands as he was fed through a tube every two hours. Now, he's five times that size, eating like a little piggy, and sleeping up to seven hours at a time.
