This baby boy has rocked his 11 weeks old in such a way! His grandpa is sick so mommy has been taking care of all the medical errands this past week. Even though I’m under a lot of stress and my Lil’ Turrio has spent a lot of time in the car, stroller or sling while I’m doing all sorts of things to take care of all the family, he’s still behaving as a champ, giving me tons of “Go ahead mommy you can do this and so much more” smiles. He’s got his daddy’s ability to rock anything that comes along.

Like a Turrio Stone.

Something I’ve learnt during these past two months is that the only thing sure about my little one is to expect the unexpected. As I read in every possible blog how everyone else’s little angels have already a routine by 2 months, my Lil’ Turrio keeps surprising me with different patterns which is definitely something for this control freak mommy. Some days he naps, some days he plays, some days he cries, some days all he does is eat. It is as if he were telling “Oh come on mommy! add some little surprising chaos to your life!”. I’m trying Turrio! I’m really trying. 

So I’m a little reluctant to type what follows because I’m afraid that the minute I press the keys and form that sweet sentence to the eyes, I’m going to jinx the whole thing, but… I’m going to be brave… so are you ready?: My Lil’ Turrio is starting to sleep almost a 5 hour nap in the night,  F I V E hour nap! or what most sleeping experts call “Sleeping through the night”. He’s also doing it in his crib -only after falling asleep in mommy’s or daddy’s arms.

There I did it. Am I a brave mommy or what!?

My first mother’s day has still got me smiling today. As this little one takes a peaceful nap with smiling reflexes all over the place, all I can think of is how fortunate I am to have him by my side. Even though his naps are definitely a break for mommy these days, every time I see him so darn beautiful in his sleep, I secretly wish for him to wake up and be again with me…

Mommy paradoxes I sure never imagined.

For all of you readers who still aren’t mommy or daddy, or for you who are on their way of becoming one, here’s a lovely portrait of an early morning during the first month of life of our baby boy. Yes, not going to lie, sleep deprivation is a hard thing to cope with but images like these make it all worth it. Look at all the love of watching your hubby holding your cubby and all the trust your little one has when cuddled in your arms. And if that still isn’t enough, there’s always a big and heavenly cup of fresh coffee waiting for you to make all better. Coffee never fails.

I’m already missing these mornings.
