Winter Slumber

The days of summer have left us. Winter's cold air has settled on our homes and is planning on staying for a while. Montana got it's first snow fall of the season, around four inches. An exciting event for a girl who hasn't seen snow on the ground since her younger days, living in Virginia. With the temperature outside dropping, we are staying more indoors, taking more naps and drinking lots of hot coco. It's so much fun making it from scratch, and the colder it is outside the better it taste, especially combined with a down comforter wrapped around you like a burrito. Jack has a growing personality and noise vocabulare of a wildabeast (I'm guessing they make lots of funny noises). I wonder about the things he would say if he could talk. Though soon enough that day will come and I'll miss the days of bibble babble. One of the funniest and cutest thing Jack does is laugh in his sleep. Just a little giggle or a huh huh, a smile and then he's back to a soft snore. I wonder what he's dreaming about. I wonder alot of things about him that only time will reveal the answers to my questions. Until then sweet dreams Jack.

Naptime is for Babies

One the best times of the day are the minutes right before Jack takes his nap. He gets really hyper and happy. He giggles and squirms and loves playing the hide and seek game under the covers. We play for about 20 min then he gets really grumpy. I pop a warm bottle of milk in his mouth and in about 5 min I have a sound asleep baby for the next two hours....or at least the next 10-15 minutes. There are advantages and disadvantages to sleeping with the little guy. I love feeling him curl into my side and listen to his soft little snore. I place my cheek on top of his head where his soft baby fuzz tickles my nose. I start to dose off and this is where the not so fun part comes in. Jack likes to reach out and feel to make sure you're still there. Well he's still getting the whole reaching out part down it's more likely I'll get poked in the eye punched in the nose or slapped on the lips. It's ok though, knowing that all he wants is for me to be close makes it all worth it.
