Sleeping Baby

One of my favorite things as a mom is a sleeping baby. Since his birth I have cherished those moments and continue to do so as often as possible. I love seeing the adorable ways he sleeps: the positions, how quickly, etc. And I also enjoy the sleeping time to get my stuff done: menu planning, cleaning, cooking, scrapbooking, and pinteresting. 
This is while we were still in the hospital.
All swaddled up. He loved having his head caulked back (which he did in the womb) and of course sleeping on Daddy.
Fell asleep in the swing with his arms up. His head caulked back which left him wedged in the bassinet.
Head caulked back again and using Auntie Erin to sleep on. Once in awhile I'd sneak him to bed with us so we could all cuddle together.
Great cuddly sleeping time with Daddy and Auntie Allison
Napping with his little fingers holding on to the crib
Staying at home I of course got tons of cuddly sleeping time but this is one of the few pictures of it
Sleeping with his legs underneath him and his little bum in the air - so cute
Holding a toy while asleep in his carseat. And on the right, asleep after taking a drive to get him to fall asleep but of course the hard part then is getting him inside still asleep.
So cute sleeping and of course having his leg stuck hanging over the crib
Asleep on Daddy and all stretched out
Almost never sleeps on his back since he could roll over and sleeping with his arms underneath him
Sleeping again with his foot outside of the crib
Here Cameron feel asleep while eating his lunch. We were at the farm and played pretty hard that morning and next thing we know he is literally asleep in his chair. So cute.
Both feet outside his crib
The left picture is taken at 6:15 AM after he woke up at 3:00 AM and would not go back to bed. Even though he was not unhappy, I was exhausted, so I drove around town. When he fell asleep, I propped his head up with a diaper. And in his forward facing seat, he almost always is at some crazy angle.
Holding his own head up and cuddling with his animals - I started taking Tony the Tiger and Critter the Cow with us when we travel so he'll sleep better away from home (most of the time it helps)
More cuddling with his stuffed animals and recently started putting his blanket over his head
Cameron often falls asleep on the way home from church after playing so hard in the nursery. Cuddling with his favorite animal Tony which my mom and dad gave to him.
Sleeping with his foot straight up in the air which was actually stuck so Daddy had to wiggle it out and using Tony as a pillow

And again, he fell asleep while eating. This particular morning he work up really early and I tried to get him to staty awake until his normal nap time, but was unsuccessful when he asleep eating his cookie (literally a half cookie in his hand).

Love, Love, Love this beautiful boy of mine or when he's particularly challenging I like to call him adorably annoying. God is so good. He has blessed us tremendously.
