We know when he's really out when the arms go up. You can see Ben doing this in the earlier post of pictures from his first six weeks, including the infamous picture of him sleeping with his hands behind his head. And at almost 9 weeks old, he already will sleep through the night! Not every night of course, but more often than not he falls asleep around 10 or 11 pm and he sleeps all the way through to morning, around 6am or so. Not bad!! I think he gets that from his mommy...
Sometimes when he's not quite all the way knocked out, he'll go through all of the expressions that he knows on his face - and its especially cute when he smiles in his sleep. We can't imagine what he could actually be dreaming or thinking about when he does that. Maybe huge two-liter bottles of formula? A heated crib liner? Hundreds of colorful toys hanging over his head? We're not really sure. Its hard to catch him doing that in pictures, but I found this one picture from when he was about a month old. I swear, we didn't pose him for this...
I'm sure that its obvious that we can't help but to take pictures of Ben all the time - whether he's awake or asleep, it doesn't matter. Here's a few more sleeping pictures to make you go "Awwwwww" some more. I'm sure we all long for the days of being able to sleep like this. A full belly and not a worry in the world.
Yawn... he's making me tired now too!
There's hardly a better feeling in the world than having your son fall asleep in your arms like this.
