sleeping babies

I've been getting in my baby fix lately, as I have recently started watching my neighbors two month old son. It's a great gig and I'm loving it. Get to play with the baby all day and then send him back home at night. (Somehow I still sleep like crap though.) And getting paid for it too. Very nice! Think that itch for number five may be starting to disappear altogether now.
I have been watching my neice also for almost a year now. She was not like any of my babies. My babies liked to be cuddled and carried and mushed on all the time. They fell asleep in your arms. Not my neice. She wanted to be up and able to see what was going on but she was certainly no mush. She even fell asleep better when you left her alone. I am a big mush and I love nothing more than rocking a baby to sleep. Sure they've always been my babies but I'm learning other peoples are just as much fun.
Every mom (and dad, I won't be sexist) knows that every baby is different. But all of my kids liked to be held and rocked and cuddled. And i loved it just as much as they did. My husband to this day says how its my fault Jacob doesn't go to sleep well because i sit with him or fall asleep with him. I don't think theres much wrong with that. I even realized and told him the other day I fall asleep quicker and better when i'm in his room. I am not thinking of anything else but being there for him and we both sleep well. Once I move into my bed my mind goes over a million and one things and it's very hard to fall back asleep.
Every day since I've been watching Colin, Jacob will have his moments when he tells me to put Colin down and hold him and of course I do. Friday I rocked Colin to sleep and put him down. I could tell Jacob would probably nap if he just let himself fall asleep. But instead of letting him fall asleep on his own I picked him up and held him and let him fall asleep on me like Colin had just before. It didn't take him long as we were warm and comfy there together on the couch. And i think we both loved every minute of it.
I love falling asleep in my husbands arms. I don't believe he was a cuddly mushy baby either so he doesn't enjoy it quite so much. But again I'll fall asleep quicker and more comforted and without my mind running in hundred directions with worries. And if i'm babying Jake by letting him fall asleep on me the way he wants and how he feels comfortable. Oh well. he'll be too big too soon where i won't have much of a chance to anymore. I plan to let us both enjoy it while we can
