Mommy - 1, Jack - 0

We have begun the bedtime battles. Or, rather, the bedtime battles continue. Jack will sleep in his crib, it is true, but getting him to sleep has become a challenge. Two nights ago, he was awake until almost 3 am (no, really) refusing to sleep. Last night I decided I'd had enough of his nightly shenanigans and put him in his crib at 9 o'clock. He did cry and fuss (loudly) for nearly 20 minutes, but I won. He slept all night and woke up in a great mood that's lasted all day. We'll be doing that 9 pm bedtime thing again. Tonight, as a matter of fact. And then again tomorrow :)

Baby Steps: The Movie

Lion Kisses

Jack got this bop and wobble toy for his birthday. He was completely terrified by it and refused to even go near it. What a difference a month and two days can make!

PS: Jack is officially throwing tantrums now when he doesn't get his way. And today he randomly walked over to me and bit my toe, then laughed at me. Is it possible that he started the terrible two's a little early?

Getting The Scoop

Jack is reading his blog.

Apparently he likes it.

He's got great taste :)

Snow Day!

As you can tell by the view outside my front door, we are snowed in today. Jack certainly doesn't mind - he loves having Cassady home all day. I like it too!

Time For Tea

Jack graciously shared his recent cold with me, and I've been drinking lots of hot tea. Luckily, I'd already finished the beverage before he found my mug - especially since he likes to smash everything! He had a lovely time slamming the empty mug on the hope chest. But, like everything else, this was short lived fun. He noticed that in my haste to rescue the mug from his destructive clutches, I'd left my laptop on the ottoman. You can't take your eyes off him for even a second...

Jump It Up!

I'm letting the pictures speak for themselves today :)
