Yesterday I put Connor down in the middle of our bed to nap.
He woke up alone, scooted toward the edge of the bed, and promptly fell off.
Jonathan rushed in to the sound of screaming.
So... you'd think I'd have learned by the third baby. But none of the others ever woke up so quietly! They always squawked first, so we knew to look at the monitor and go in. Connor's so happy he always wakes up with a smile, and didn't make a peep until he fell off.
Mobility at five months... life it is a'changin.
It's happened to all parents and almost all babies. Don't sweat it. Connor will be fine. You and Jonathan will recover from the shock and the guilt. And you know, even pillows wouldn't have prevented him from falling. He's moving now! Love to you all and big hugs to the one who feels the most guilt. xoxo
