I don't have any recent snuggle pictures but I rocked in our chair tonight with LO far longer than it took to put her to sleep!
This. DH always comments that it took a long time to get him down. Not really. I just cuddled him and enjoyed the quiet time before I put him in his crib. The days are so busy and LO is so active now, I cherish the nap time cuddles.
I know I'm supposed to put him down "drowsy but awake.". But screw that. I only get to spend a few hours a day with him, thanks to my job. I'm going to rock him to sleep all I want, for as long as I want.
Mornig snuggles everyday. I probably should wake him up to eat, he slep all night cause he refused to nap. Ill trade some night time sleep for naps guys.

This is my exact theory. I probably spend about an hour each night with him in my arms after he's fallen asleep. I just kiss his head over and over and smell his delicious baby smell. I'll never be able to get enough
While in bed together LO has taken to koala holding my arm. I lay on my back and he lays on his side and wraps his arms and legs around my arm. So cute and actually one of the more comfortable co-sleeping positions I've found.
Last night she actually let me snuggle her in the rocking chair while I was attempting to get her drowsy. She actually passed out in my arms for the first time in days. I loved just being able to rock her in silence and hold her even if it was only for a few minutes before she started squirming again.
She has been getting really frustrated at night because she can't get comfortable on me any more. Even more so if I'm in the rocking chair. =(
This thread makes me want to group hug you all and cry. It's totally a cliche, but so freaking true. We still have LO in the pack and play in our room. I've made excuse after excuse as to why he's still in there. I'm currently out of excuses and IDGAF. He turns 6 months on the 27th. Maybe I'll move him in his crib then. Maybe.
Am I the only one whose baby doesn't sleep in a crib? Eli usually only sleeps well if he's being held. Sometimes I can get him to lay down in bed with us (safely, of course) but if I were to try and get him to sleep in a crib his eyes shoot open and all hell breaks loose. It's not pretty.

Cyril doesn't sleep in his crib yet either.
As with everything else so far, we do a hodge podge. Some nights we bed share a little.. Some nights a lot... Some nights I can't even remember where I slept lol.
