    Why I love co-sleeping!

    Ok, so I was rudely awoken this morning at 4.30am. *yawn*

    BUT I opened my eyes and through the semi darkness was my gorgeous baby girl, big blue eyes peering at me, then huge gummy smile when I said "good morning".

    Seriously, what could be better than that?

    Awww, that is soooooo cute - not sure what could beat waking up to a gorgeous little girl bearing gummy smiles at you, even in the wee hours of the morning.

    Aww gorgeous...
    I love that when DD co-sleeps (not all the time) i wake to find she's found her own way to the boob and is playing with my hair while she feeds.. if that was DP he'd get a punch in the face

    That is so cute!!!

    ZF- that is gold!

    I love it when they are both in bed with us, one on either side of me. If Miss M wakes first she grabs my face, says 'good morning mummy, its a beautiful day'. Then she leans over and gives Miss H a kiss. Then if Miss H wakes first, she climbs over me, and pats her sister until she wakes up, and at the same time making all these funny hapy noises! And then to top it all off quite often Miss M will go and get a book, bring it back and read it to her sister in bed while we get another 10mins of 'sleep'!

    I love it when DD rolls over in the middle of the night and snuggles up to me. I love her morning smiles, but with her as soon as her eyes are open she is awake and sitting up, so no lying down snuggling for a bit longer..lol

    I love the night-time feeds where it's dark, just the two of us awake, and he gazes at me with his hand holding my finger or patting my boob. Such special moments just for us.

    Back in the dark ages I used to wake up to DD#1:

    "eyes!" *finger in the eye*
    "nose!" *finger up the nose*
    "mouth!" *finger shoved in mouth*

    These days it is the toddler charging in announcing that "the little baby is awake! Need to pick the little baby up and change his bum!" and then having my dressing gown thrown at me. The "little baby" is usually sound asleep next to me at this point

    Edit: also he is SO not a "little baby". We met a 12 month old today that was smaller than him. He's 3 months old.

    Naaw MummaSue - isn't it lovely.
    I'm in the wake up to eye/ nose gouging camp, but every now and then it's a comparitively mild poke in the forehead/ ear aaah bliss. lol
