Feeling like the worlds worst mum

To say that I am soft with Lachie is an understatement however lately his sleeping (or lack of it) has been getting out of hand. I have started with a little bit of 'self settling' and neither of us are really coping very well with it (Lachie and I that is). This is how he dozed off (very lightly I might add) this afternoon.Of course he woke right up when I went to lay him down but he was so tired that he let me pat him to sleep (something he never lets me do). In case you can't see in the picture he is asleep while standing up at the end of his cot (I know the photo is very blurry but I did not want to disturb him too much).
Boy did I feel like the worlds worst mum. I know that he can't sleep in my arms/bed for the rest of his life and I know what needs to be done but can't someone else do it for me. At least when he wakes up all is forgiven...mostly.

On the move!

Lachie is now on the move! He took his first tentative crawls (?) on Thursday and now he has it down to pat, though it is still quite slow (I am not complaining :). This means that anything down low is not safe as he has been pulling himself up on furniture (or my leg) for a couple of weeks now. I hope this means that he will begin to be a bit more content to play somewhere other than my hip- like he is now with the vacuum cleaner cord (not plugged in of course :).
