Playing Footsie
Jack’s newest discovery is his feet. He loves his feet. He will sit up on the couch like a big boy and just stare at his feet. He tries to reach for them, and he is trying hard to figure out what exactly makes those feet move. He will move his feet and just watch them ever so intently, as if to wonder how they do that. HA!
We had Jack’s 3 month photo shoot this week. However, I got a call from our photographer who said he should have set up his big lights during the session, and the photos didn’t come out as well as he would have liked for them to. So, we are going to retake those on Saturday morning. I can’t wait to share them with you. He has the cutest outfits to wear!!!
I jinx myself everytime I blog about his sleeping patterns. Last post, I bragged on his seven straight hour stretch of sleep. Two nights later, we are back to not sleeping or napping for that matter. Last night, I was up either every hour or every two hours. And trying to get him to sleep for a nap is harder than acing a college calculus course. He fights sleep worse than anything I’ve ever seen in my life. My mom will laugh at this post because she tells me I was the same way. I guess I’m getting a dose of my own medicine - haha.
Sean works from home on Wednesdays, and I’m really starting to like that just for the fact he realizes what exactly I do all day. Our latest dialog after me trying to get Jack to sleep for a nap:
Jenny: *Sigh*
Sean: Are you going to be okay?
Jenny: Yeah.
Sean: Good because I wouldn’t be.
Jenny: *Laughs* Can you please run get us some lunch? I’m too tired to drive anywhere, and I’d probably run off the road.
I have to brag on my husband for a moment. There couldn’t be a better daddy in the world than Sean is to Jack. And I couldn’t have a better husband in the world, either. He is very understanding of how hard it is to be a stay-at-home mom, and he really takes such good care of us. He is always willing to pick up fast food on his way home when I’ve had a rough day, and will drop pretty much anything to help me out around the house or with Jack. He could complain about how I never cook homemade meals much or how we are out of groceries for the fourth day in a row or how the clothes are piling up. But he never criticizes. I know he would appreciate that home cooked meal. I would too! HA! I’m sick of delivery, fast food and take out for sure! One day things will get a little easier, but right now, our little man is very demanding, but worth all of my time and energy. I love him so much! And his daddy and mommy can sacrifice some things as we take care of him in his newborn days.
I better run get a few things done before Jack wakes up from his nap. Hopefully my next post will go back to bragging on how wonderfully he is sleeping again!
